Bush eases border restrictions for Mexicans
Bush Gives Fox Concession on Borders
(Reuters) - President Bush on Saturday gave Mexican President Vicente Fox a concession on his push to ease border restrictions as the two leaders sought to rebuild a friendship soured by the Iraq war and shifts in U.S. foreign policy after the Sept. 11 attacks.

-------------------------------

This is going to TOTALLY anger his base. He is digging himself a deep hole with this. This is going to drive lots of Libertarians and Republicans to stay home in November.

1. Hooeee
You're sure right with this one. Even that great intellect, Michael Savage, went ballistic when * started talking about guest workers.

3. Well, this guarantees an immediate...
...increase of the the official U.S. census population count by 11 million illegals and opens the borders to 50 million more Mexicans by 2010. Poor Canadians will just have to stay put and shiver until their new PM kisses the great orifice of our beloved leader repeatedly for 12 months. Then what Bush will insist on in Canada is we move 16,000 of our own WMD's to the Arctic tundra for a launch onto, thaaaat's right, North Korea. First retaliation strikes will hit Canada :nuke:

4. Bush is not an idealogue, he's only for corporations
He's a corporatist masquerading as a conservative idealogue.

He only cares about what his corporate friends tell him to do.

And in this case, they want cheap labor.

5. Save this one for the Flip-Flop file!
Oh, that Kerry, he just flip-flops--not like our steady leader. What a joke.

6. Well gee, thanks a fucking lot, you c-word little man.
You are easing border restrictions for them, but my partner an American born citizen doesn't have the fucking right to sponsor me for immigration.

So much for thinking of your fellow country folk first. Your a weasle!

7. You know, I think about this every time I think about immigration.
Why can't we enforce the laws we already have instead of playing politics with new ones?

It makes no sense at all.

8. Do you know...
...the only reason gay Americans don't have immigration rights is because the stupid idiots on the right honestly thought awarding queers immigration rights would lead to gay marriage.
