President said they wont be detained but sent back emmidiately. Which means they get to try it again in the morning. We are also getting remotely controlled flying cameras... sounds like fun.

Dumbya is desperate for popularity points. All he's accomplishing is pissing off everyone involved.
Same as usual.

He would NEVER do what it would really take to stop, or slow, illegals.

Bush is a democrat when it comes to border controls and Mexico. What's funny, is that from a pure capitalist standpoint, a free flowing work force is as great as it gets, and so is a uber-conservative view along political lines. You should be cheering Bush for his border politics Smokin'.

A free flowing "workforce" is exactly what he plans on keeping with his "support only" troops. The people that are hiring these illegals and paying slave wages, and thus driving down the wages and standard of living of all Americans, will continue to be able to do business as usual. He only wants to keep the slave labor force intact, while trying to make it LOOK like he's doing something, so dumbya isn't a Democrat on this issue.

My views don't fit with either party on this subject, as niether wants to really fix the problem.
The border needs to be completely sealed to illegal immigrants. One illegal enters the U.S., from Mexico, every 80 seconds. Build a wall, hire an EFFECTIVE, well financed, and well trained border patrol, and fine the livin' shit out of employers who hire illegals. And, NO FRICKIN AMNESTY for the illegals already here. Amnesty only serves as a slap in the face to all those LEGAL immigrants who worked hard and waited a long time to become citizens. By fining the employers, and I mean at least $50k or more per illegal, the jobs will dry up, and the illegals will be climbing the wall to get back to Mexico.

And would put a quarter of the small businesses in the country out of business.

Illegal immigrants aren't working for Enron or IBM, they're working for landscapers, roofers, painters, builders, etc.

Does anyone know at what point it became difficult to enter the United Stated? I can't imagine my ancestors applied for a work visa or went through ANYTHING that you or I would call a "process". They didn't speak a single word of English. In fact, my grandfather's family name was changed because the immigration officer couldn't spell it. "This is your new name"

I have a plan... We gladly take in anyone that wants to come here and work. In exchange, we send back all the lazy Americans that DON'T want to work...

That's sad because it's true. Who put that post up recently about their grandpa saying if there were a depression today, people wouldn't be doing anything they could for a living, they'd just start looting and stealing because the XY and some (not nearly as bad as the following generations) of the Baby Boomer generations think they're entitled to everything.

Chuck has a lot of truth in what he says. Mexican's take the jobs too many Americans think they're above. My Uncle, with my cousin and I were the only white roofing crew in Chicago the past 4 years, with the exception of the occasional Polish crew (immigrants though). There certainly is an arrogance in our country when kids think they're too good to dig ditches, cut lawns, bus tables, etc...
