Speaking yesterday after a summit meeting with Mexico's Vicente Fox at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, President Bush addressed the issue of illegal immigration. He said he opposes the Minuteman Project, which is a group of 1,000 people, including 30 pilots and their private planes who are going to police the border. Oppose it? Why? It isn't as if the federal government is doing too good of a job....a recent survey found that there are 11 million illegal aliens in this country.
Furthermore, the president called for relaxing the border even further...and promoted his guest-worker program. Make no mistake: the guest worker program is a full-blown amnesty program for illegal aliens. Want to break the laws of the United States and skate .. maybe that should be swim right in the back door? Just tell the feds you've got a job, and you're in. This, of course, is exactly what Mr. Fox wants, because he advocates an open border. These people send money back home. Over $15 billion a year. That's $15 billion that Fox doesn't have to come up with to take care of Mexico's social needs.
Illegal immigration is just that, illegal. It drains the resources and tax dollars as illegals are given driver's licenses, health care and just about everything else that costs taxpayers money. Illegal aliens make a mockery of the laws of the United States and are a slap in the face to those who come to the United States legally, through proper channels.
We're supposed to be fighting a war on terror....how can we keep terrorists out if they can just walk across the Mexican border? Republicans are going to start paying at the polls for the Bush administration's stand on illegals, as you've seen already with the Hillary taking a tougher stance.
