Bush Warns GOP to Avoid 'Anti-Immigrant' Label

T- Bush has done no war crimes. Millions of people in Iraq are free from a murderer. Bush only enacted the Iraqi Liberation Act of 1998 that was started by President Clinton. Please educate yourself on the original U.N. resolution of 1991. Please refer to something he's done that fits it. He hasn't destroyed the working class or the poor. It's the dems who want the poor to stay where they are and not go up in society. They want people to rely on the government which makes them powerful. It's the democratic playbook. Actually, under Clinton, the rich paid more taxes than under Bush. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that is a fact. Nor has he walked over the Constitution. Please refer to what article you are basing this on? There were more military deaths during the Carter years than any during the Iraqi conflict. I'll miss Bush and will cringe every time I look at Obama. Illigal immigration is a huge problem. Both parties need to come together and give really good solutions. They cause our hospitals, schools and jails huge burdens. Only when both parties stop bickering will we have solutions.

T - correction, the rich paid LESS in taxes under Clinton. The bottom 50% of income earners pay 2.9% of all income taxes.

American govt, is confussed in many ways. here are some reasons why this comment;If one came here with VISA does he/she illegal immigrant? But the truth of the matter is that America classified every Immigrant both those who are here with VISA and those who not as Illegal immigrant. Again one has been here for more than 9yrs working paying tax he is illegal, after genueily marry their daughter for 6yrs in love and happiness, he is still under suspicious good or bad person to live with them.It is good with them.

@T,

I am not too much into Religion myself, althought I do believe in GOD. Being raised in a Baptist home and attending church for my first 16 years of my life, I do remember that GOD decides who goes to heaven and who does not.

Did God turn that over to you, now? You are the one that decides whether Bush is Christian or not?

@mikkyo,
Let us say I park my Camper on your property and live there with your permission. How many years are you going to give me to live there?

Now, let us say, you want to sell your property, is someone going to buy it with me living in my camper?

You into sharing, then there are a lot of homeless that need somewhere to put up their box. You going to let them come over, also? Hell, at least most of them are born American. :)

who's antiIMMIGRANT ? they can't call illegal entrants into a nation that has existing laws on immigration an ILLEGAL ALIEN ? criminals ? welfare/medicaid frauds ?
How stupid some have become.

I am a Conservative and wish that Pres Bush would be quite on this issue!! Yes we can as a nation shut down our borders to illegal aliens. Yes we can catch the sobs that are now here illegaly and send them back. The media controls too much via "thier" opinions and the left is soaking it up. I feel sorry for Democrats because they are such suckers. Step up and be a Patriot for once.

not one nation,country or region has unregulated entry.
The USA has laws for entry and millions happily followed them.

The problem w/ both of the defeated bills was that they were long on amnesty, short on enforcement and accountability. For the GOP to turn its back on the citizenry in order to kowtow to corporate interests and illegal advocate, is a slap in the face. Every American citizen needs to demand our Congress and new president make the E-verify system (the one proven tool to the hiring and exploitation of illegal labor) both mandatory and permanent. They must demand that our immigration laws be enforced and all immigrants are identified. All illegal aliens should be given the option of leaving on their own immediately or facing expulsion and absolutely no chance to re-enter and all our borders need to be tightly secured w/ advanced entry capabilties along both borders. Our seas must be made safe by rejecting any and all peoples who enter illegally via the high seas, including all Cubans.
There is no need for illegal labor. We have more than dozen varying types of work visa programs and moreover we have millions of unemployed Americans who should be put to work. We have hundreds of thousands of able-bodied people collecting welfare who should be put to work and we have the capabilities to give the agriculture industry tax incentives to mechanize many aspects of their operation, so human labor is no longer exploited.

Let’s don’t confuse immigration with invasion. I’m not anti-immigrant, I’m anti-illegal alien. There is a big difference in spite of what La Raza and our government try to tell us.

Got to say - yes - most folks do not understand what is happening with illegal immigration in America. If you think Illegal Immigration will make your childrens life easier then you just have not been paying attention. The Republicans lost because the Republican base like myself simply could not work or vote for a RINO like McCain, or Bush for that matter. We are NOT anti-immigrant - we are Pro-American. Soldiers and War Veterans did not serve and die for the flag of Mexico. /ji

I agreed in building person's viewpoint, thought your viewpoint is very novel, also said that your idea has the value very much,thanks!

Let’s take a look at the bills that will soon pass Congress and be signed by our new president. 1)Amnesty for illegal aliens. 2)Open borders. 3)Strict gun control and circumvention of the Second Amendment. 4)Increase in gasoline tax and tax on new cars. 5)Increased welfare. 6)Reduction in military spending. 5)Signing of treaties with the UN regardless of conflict with our Constitution. ---- I pray that our constitution will survive the next 4 years with enough strength to elect a president and congress who will honor their oath to protect and defend it. Probably won’t but I’ll pray for it anyway.

It is strange that this would come from Bush.

Republicans love immigrants. They love people who will come here, work for next to nothing, take jobs from Americans, and make them and their cronies more money at the expense of the country as a whole. They love work visa's and they hate organizations that protect American workers. They are about nothing but money and power and they could care less who they hurt to get it.

There are more Americans united about the anti-immigrant stance than just the GOP. It's clear that illegal immigration from Latin America is still out of control. These people don't follow the rules. They just jump the fence. It's clear we can't get them all out. Some have been here for decades. But the US should totally shutdown the border and strive for zero tolerance of illegal immigration going forward until we can get control of this situation. By and large, latino illegals bring nothing of substance into America. In fact, employers willingly employ them over tax paying Americans. The illegals know this and exploit it. Providing services for these people is burdening America and weighing down an already unbalanced system. However, now the lousy economic climate makes America less attractive job wise.

It is impossible to be painted as anti-immigrant from the liberals unless you are for a melting of our US borders.

All of us here are immigrants, but the need to come to this country LEGALLY has never been greater. Our gov't should know who is here and for how long they are planning to stay. Without that knowledge, anarchy could follow.

I don't mind sealing the borders; tell me which taxes you want to raise to pay for it. If we bring the troops home from the BS wars, I suppose they could be reassigned to the southern border.

Of the 50 wealthiest members in congress, 27 of them are democrats. So much for the party of the common man, huh?

Democrats have been able to paint themselves as messiahs of the poor for years, but in actuality, all they do is shove entitlements down peoples' throats.
This ensures two things: democrats get re-elected and democrats pockets get more $$$ in them.
Gore, Pelosi, Kennedys, Rockefellers, Kerry, Edwards, Clintons. They are all EXTREMELY wealthy by "robbing from the rich to feed the poor". What a crock.

Hello Mr. Bush:

You caused the GOP defeats. Not an anti-immigrant bias. Who are you to lecture us about GOP defeats when you have been clearly the most hated president in history? Who told you go go to Iraq? You promised during your campaign that you are not going to be in the business of "nation building". You lied to us and broke your promises.
