No drug smuggler left behind!

President Bush was so buoyed by the warm reception he was given in Albania that he immediately gave all 3 million Albanians American citizenship, provided they learn Spanish. The offer was withdrawn when Bush found out most Albanians haven't broken any U.S. laws.

Bush keeps claiming he's dying to enforce the border, but he just can't do it unless we immediately grant amnesty to 12 million illegal aliens. I wonder if that worked on Laura Bush:

Laura: George, it's time you quit drinking.

George: OK, honey, let's discuss it over cocktails.

How about Bush enforce the border and then we'll discuss his amnesty plan?

He assures us that granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants already here won't inspire millions more to run across the border because ... he's going to put infrared lights at the border!

Well, that's a relief. What precisely will infrared lights do again? This is worse than those fake cameras they sell at hardware stores to make it look like you have cameras outside your house. We still need something or someone – say, a wall or a Border Patrol agent – to stop the Mexicans illegally crossing the border as we watch them on the infrared cameras.

Bush won't build a wall, and he keeps prosecuting law enforcement officers who stop illegal border crossers. But trust him: He'll get right on that border enforcement business as soon as we grant amnesty to 12 million illegal aliens.

Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean are normally the sort of Mexican-Americans Bush would tear up at while promoting amnesty for illegal aliens. Both served in the military and are taxpaying, law-abiding citizens. They've been risking their lives as Border Patrol agents for years.

Ramos was nominated for Border Patrol Agent of the Year in 2005. His nomination received a major setback when the Bush administration decided to put him in prison instead. Ramos and Compean are now serving more than 10 years apiece in solitary confinement for chasing a drug-running illegal alien back to Mexico.

Bush's pal, U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, gave immunity to a Mexican drug dealer hauling a million dollars worth of drugs across the border so the drug dealer could testify against two Border Patrol agents who shot him in the buttocks.

The Border Patrol agents were presumed guilty of an unlawful shooting because they neglected to fill out the proper paperwork. For busting a cap in the butt of a drug courier crossing the border illegally – who was so mortally wounded that he proceeded to scamper back to Mexico – they were supposed to spend five hours filling out paperwork. This is what the Bush administration means when it talks about a "cover-up." As U.S. prosecutor Debra Kanof said, "You have to report any discharge of a firearm."

Intriguingly, Kanof also says: "The Border Patrol pursuit policy prohibits the pursuit of someone." (Hence, the oft-heard warning of the border agent in hot pursuit, "Stop or I'll ... do absolutely nothing!") Can we apply this rule to meter maids and tax collectors? At least now border agents will be able to watch the illegal aliens they can't pursue on infrared cameras!

But wait – that's not all! The Border Patrol agents also exceeded the speed limit. "In order to exceed the speed limit," Kanof said, "you have to get supervisor approval, and they did not." It's just so hard to fill out a written request to exceed the speed limit when you're off-roading at 65 mph. There's a whispering campaign suggesting that Ramos and Compean failed to use their turn signal.

As I understand it, you're also not supposed to cross the border illegally from Mexico with a van full of drugs. But the Bush administration has no interest in enforcing those laws. Ninety-eight percent of illegal aliens captured crossing the border illegally are not prosecuted. Those drugs are doing the job American drugs just won't do!

The Bush administration pulls out the big guns only for serious violations like a Border Patrol officer not filling out paperwork.

In addition to giving the illegal-alien drug smuggler full immunity to testify against U.S. Border Patrol agents, the government gave him taxpayer-funded medical care for his buttocks wound, an unconditional border-crossing card, the right to sue the U.S. for "civil rights" violations and a GAP gift card. The drug runner is also on the short-list to replace Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

He's now suing the U.S. for $5 million, but the Bush administration is hoping to bargain him down to $10 million.

That border-crossing card came in handy when the winged illegal alien brought in another load of drugs a short eight months later – for which he has still not been charged, nearly two years later. Who does he think he is? Rep. William Jefferson?

Bush's pal Sutton keeps defending his decision to prosecute Border Patrol agents for paperwork violations, rather than an illegal alien for drug trafficking, on the grounds that the drug dealer has not been charged with any crimes. Let's see, whose job is it to charge that Mexican drug runner with a crime? Why, I believe that would be Johnny Sutton!

Maybe Sutton was too busy prosecuting another Mexican-American law enforcement officer for trying to stop illegal aliens from crossing our border. Deputy Sheriff Gilmer Hernandez shot at the tires of a van full of illegal aliens, inadvertently wounding one of them. Sutton prosecuted Hernandez. The government proceeded to give the illegal aliens green cards and $100,000 each.

I didn't realize "living in the shadows" meant in the shadows of palm trees around the pools at taxpayer-funded houses.

Illegal aliens might want to rethink Bush's amnesty plan. The only Hispanics Bush seems to prosecute are the ones who are law-abiding U.S. citizens.

I wish there was an applause emotivon, just it that I am applauding.
What a great post. I love the "suing the US for 5 million but Bush is tring to bargain him down to 10 million". LOL
Ya know, sure, Bush has the right to fire any & all US Attorneys he wants to, but why did he keep one that is encouraging illegal immigrant drug runners to cross the borders? Maybe the Bush admin is getting a cut?
I think I dislike Bush even more than i did/do clinton & that's because I trusted Bush, voted for him twice for Gov & twice for prez.
I know without a doubt that I have never regretted a vote more than I do those 4.
"undocumented Americans"
harry reid
Bush bought into that?

What if the native Americans came to the conclusion that all non-natives were illegal immigrants and wanted to throw them out?
They would actually be in their rights legally. You all came here as illegals, either you, your parents, your grand parents etc. I doubt any of them asked the natives if it was OK.

Perhaps the natives would have their land still, and not have been massacered by the settlers. Too late for them, wouldn't you say?

I tell you that the natives would have been better off repelling the settlers and you come back with a sterotype, why?

How would that be in their rights legally? A handful of beads took care of that.

Great thread Invayne, this is the end of the middle class as we know it. It's designed that way. We off shored just about everything that we can, now we need to import slaves. I wonder why the Mexicans coming here don't see that. Here is an article that I ran across this morning. MIA From the Immigration Debate, Creating Economic Opportunity in Mexico

There has been a great amount of work by the Bush administration to merge the economies of the North Americas, some see this as a positive steep forward. I however find this practice disturbing. Our wages, for now, are much greater than the wages in Mexico. The only way to merge economies is to make wages comparable. Thats not to say the wages of Mexico will skyrocket. Instead by importing cheap labor to the US and Canada, our wages will drop as they have been for years now.
This article doesn't hit the immigration issue, but hi lights off shoring and how our economy has been severely crippled by it. The Real Cost of Offshoring. Add the effects of importing cheap labor and you can probably guess for your self where we are headed.

Maybe it is a sympthom of failed polices, of the genocide of natives, of the theft of their land, etc.

Maybe it's what most right wing nutcases think?

The way you have treated the natives is such a disgrace, the way they are treated even today is a disgrace.
