He said 'back off?' That's great!
There isn't a better bill as far as this prez is concerned, he wants amnesty and open borders. And he's proved he doesn't care what the citizens think, he does what he wants, stubborn stubborn as they come.

It's a good thing to have Sessions on our side. Most of the Senators look up to him, so they may listen to him.

Jeff Sessions should be the one in the Oval office, and Bush should be behind bars!

Hey, it's better then the usual zero.

I sent emails to those two today and urged them to hold town hall meetings across the state since they don't seem to be hearing us.

This is on Sen. Enzi's website:

Border security can be implemented without Senate bill
June 12, 2007

Washington, D.C. - Today, nine U.S. Senators wrote a letter to President Bush urging him to fulfill the border security provisions listed in the Senate immigration bill whether the legislation passes or not. Each border security trigger in the bill can be implemented under current law without any need for new legislation from Congress. The text of the letter is below:

Dear Mr. President:

We respectfully ask that your Administration enforce the border security laws that have already been authorized by Congress regardless of whether the Senate passes the immigration reform bill. The bill assumes that several critical border security benchmarks can be achieved within 18 months. These security triggers are already authorized under current law and can be completed without the immigration bill. We believe these enforcement measures are vital and should not wait until Congress passes additional immigration reforms.

Securing the border is the best way to restore trust with the American people and facilitate future improvements of our immigration policy.

Sincerely,

U.S. Senators Jim DeMint (R – South Carolina), Tom Coburn (R – Oklahoma), Mike Enzi (R – Wyoming), David Vitter (R – Louisiana), Jim Inhofe (R – Oklahoma), Jim Bunning (R – Kentucky), Charles Grassley (R – Iowa), John Ensign (R – Nevada) and Jeff Sessions (R – Alabama).

###

The Senate immigration bill calls for the following security benchmarks to be completed as a “triggerâ€

Thanks populist,

I sent a copy of that letter to both my senators (Isakson and Chambliss) asking why they weren't with the other 9.

Nixon was WAY better than Bush. Despite Nixon's flaws, he actually did good things for the nation (although "opening the door to China" turned out to harm us). GWB has not done one single good thing for this nation.
