Barn Door Bush (1 Viewer)

Barn Door Bush.
Mr. Bush wants to call up the National Guard to ‘protect’ our nation’s border against illegal immigration from Mexico.
It’s a little late for that.
He could have said something to the Federal Government when he was governor of Texas and 5 million illegal immigrants were flooding into that state (and our country). The general idea in Texas at the time was that illegal immigrants helped fuel their economy so no one said anything except to call for more illegal immigrants.
Car washes, lawn care companies, construction work, food processing, manufacturing and other jobs were given to illegal immigrants and taken away from Americans. The argument is they were doing jobs that Americans would not. Everyone knows that is not true.
It might be more effective to station National Guard troops outside of Tyson chicken packaging plants or Cargill processing facilities or any cotton gin across the nation.
The impact on our nation is serious. For example, Tyson forced the price of chicken up at companies like Perdue that obeyed our national laws.
The food processing jobs are not at McDonald’s. They are in meat packing and even frozen food production.
Why would Mr. Bush turn around quickly?
The National Guard is done in Iraq. The regular Army is taking over and the Guardsmen coming home need work.
The fact is the work isn’t here.
They can point their guns south while behind them millions of illegal immigrants do the jobs that Americans are not allowed to do.

Better late then never. At least with the south blocked off, we can now deport an illegals without the worry of 3 more coming in and taking his place.

Better late than never? ha, ha.
He's wants to put the Guard on the border so the suckers can't leave.

I really don't think he has to worry with any of them leaving. we have an immigration problem not an emigration problem

By "Barn Door Bush", you mean to call up an image of a very small man next to a great big wide open door looking confusedly in through the gigantic hole, right?

You're not trying to suggest that Bush is doing anything that might make is seem as if the barn door is moving in the closed direction, are you?

Like you said, if we used the Guard to arrest the mexicans at Tyson and Walmart and McDonalds, or better yet, the CEO's of those places, then that barn door might be nudged, but his comical efforts to pull a Clinton aren't working very well. I guess Americans aren't as stupid as Democrats. We're not buying Bush's gimmick.

Well, you had me interested until you wrote 'pulled a Clinton'.
When President Clinton was in office it was Governor Bush's responsibility to alert the President to the changing demeanor of Texas but he did not and he assisted in the invasion and encouraged it and now he is giving the Guard something to do.

They'll string up some barbed wire, shoot some cows, have a nice barbecue and become corrupted by Mexican influence.

They they will go home to their towns and cities and spread the wondrous things they learned in barbarous Iraq and from the Mexicans who, instead of standing up for themselves in their own nation, pretend that this is their country - but who am I kidding? If anything was going to be done it would have been many years ago - when the first President Bush was in office - but that was a long time ago in a country that doesn't exist anymore.

The same analogy crossed my mind when I heard about the idea of putting the Guard @ the border.

Now that there're 12M of them it's time to do something serious abut it. 11.5M wasn't enough for us to take action. But now that it's 12M, we must act.

Can't help but wonder about the timing.


If we want to have a guest worker program, that's fine. Many countries do. Obviously there're needs for one.
However, I don't think that it should involve a pathway to citizenship for folks who have come here illegally.

To be eligible for the guestworker program, folks should have to register w/ their embassies here in the US as well w/ US officials.
If someone registers w/ the US embassy in their country of origin for the guestworker program, then they should be eligible [not guaranteed] to set out on a pathway toward American citizenship.

12M is too many for there to be a practical, pragmatic way for the govt to round them up. If there's a strong incentive for folks to leave of their own accord, it'll be much more efficient and effective. Tell them that if they want a chance at citizenship, they have to go back home first and register there. Then if they want to come here in the guestworker program, keep their nose clean and work for ten years paying taxes and/or whatever sorts of suitable requirements, we'll talk about it.

Here's a big clue to solving the puzzle you're having such a difficult time solving:

The international borders are a federal responsibility.

And "pull a Clinton" means pulling some damn fool deceitful trick only a rube would fall for.
