BUSH PUSHES PHONY IMMIGRATION BILL

Read select quotes below:

He described his proposal — which has been agreed to by a bipartisan group of senators — as one that "makes it more likely we can enforce our border — and at the same time uphold the great immigrant tradition of the United States of America."

" Great tradition"--looks like the new tradition is to stop immigration period.
Why won't the government try to fix some of the real problems? Example why does it take so long to sponsor a relative? Should it really take 14-25 years?

"A lot of Americans are skeptical about immigration reform, primarily because they don't think the government can fix the problems," Bush said.

People are skeptical because the government cannot fix shit. They are using immigration as way to try to divide people. Sick as usual.

"And my answer to the skeptics is: give us a chance to fix the problems in a comprehensive way that enforces our border and treats people with decency and respect. Give us a chance to fix this problem. Don't try to kill this bill before it gets moving," Bush told students and instructors at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center.

"Treats people with decency and respect"--Sorry Mr. Bush you don't know anything about decency and respect and neither does your INS!
Case in point:
-This proposal does nothing to solve the wait times for relatives being sponsored in the US
-This proposal does nothing for LGBT Americans
-This proposal actually may eliminate categories for siblings of American citizens or PR
If the government wants to push an amnesty bill, make it a real amnesty bill! Not one loaded with bullshit and that is all this one has.


"You can use it to frighten people," Bush said. "Or you can show leadership and solve this problem once and for all."
The bill would give temporary legal status to millions of unlawful immigrants, provided they came forward, paid a fine and underwent criminal background checks. To apply for a green card, they would have to pay another fine, learn English, return to their home country and wait in line.
The plan also would create a guest worker program. It would allow foreign laborers to come to the U.S. for temporary stints, yet with no guarantee they can eventually gain citizenship.

Yes Mr. Bush that is what the government does best--frightens people. After all that is how you got elected last time. And of course the best immigration bill is the one where there is no guaratees for the people who are giving everything they have for America--including its own citizens--but then again you don't count gay and lesbian Americans citizens do you?
