Let's agree to behave in a civil manner here. While I disagree with our president on certain issues, and illegal immigration is one of them, I respect him and the office he holds.
Respect him for what? What has he done that deserves one ounce of respect from me or America in general? What should we respect him for? Lets take a look at Bush's legacy as we know it.
1. Has left our borders wide open to a massive illegal alien invasion and potential future terrorist attacks since his inception into office despite 9-11 and massive major outcry from the public concerning this matter.
2. Has left our country in trillions of dollars of federal debt and billions of dollars in trade debt.
3. Has lost millions of jobs for American citizens.
4. Has allowed the illegal alien population to steal millions of jobs putting millions of citizens out of work and has caused millions more citizens to accept jobs that pay wages below the poverty line.
5. Has chosen to neglect funding for the additional 10,000 border patrol agents, 8,000 ICE agents and the tens of thousands of detention beds that congress called for.
6. Is pushing for a free trade agreement that is worse than NAFTA.
7. Pushed our country into a war that is unnecessary on the basis of crappy intelligence.
8. Thinks that guarding other countries borders with our troops is more important then using our troops to guard our own borders despite the massive illegal alien onslaught that is ravaging this country by the tens of thousands each day.
9. Has given the UN permission to prosecute our troops for war crimes during peace keeping missions.
10. Kowtowed to the World Court to open review to give another trial to 51 convicted Mexican invaders sitting on death row despite numerous appeals denying them of another trial. All this because the Mexican consulates might not have been notified in a timely manner despite the fact that these invaders had an attorney, a fair trial by jury and again numerous amount of appeals.
11. Refuses to conduct racial profiling of Arab muslims in airports, but allows the profiling of every other ethnicity.
12. Refuses to allow the border patrol to arrest illegal aliens because of the MMP.
13. Calls illegal aliens good hearted folks coming here to do jobs that Americans won't do and yet calls the good hearted patriots of the MMP vigilantes.
14. Agrees on a totalization agreement with Mexico to allow illegal aliens to receive social security payments.
15. Has forced ICE to stop worksight enforcement on employers who hire illegals.
16. Value of the dollar has collapsed dramatically under Bush's administration.
17. Is against Taiwan seeking independence from communist China.
18. Out of control spending on foreign aide and pork spending.
19. Liberalized education from No Child Left Behind which leaves the education of your child in the hands of the bureaucrats in the federal government.
20. 540 billion on a prescription drug bill that made Hillary's health care proposal back in the 90's seem tame.
21. Refuses to crack down on Sanctuary polices for illegals.
22. Refuses to crack down on dangerous illegal alien gangs like MS-13.
23. Refuses to demand that Mexico extradite illegal alien COP killers.
That is just the tip of the iceberg. If you want to respect a failure of a president that's your right, but don't expect me to when I see the facts right before my eyes. I respect the position of office, always have, but that doesn't mean I have to respect the man in power especially when it's obvious to everyone that he has betrayed his country and has violated every word of his oath of office. He has absolutely no concern for the people who voted him into office and he's stated so on numerous occasions. Almost every one of his acts in office have been unconstitutional and in alot of cases unlawful. Yet I'm suppose to respect a man who sides with foreign criminals and corporate fat cats over those who voted him into office. I don't think so.
