126. Immigration: Bush's and Congresses' limp d*ck approach to governing
Edited on Mon Apr-10-06 07:13 PM by katinmn
is the problem.

This is another prime example of an issue that is blowing up because of the corruption in DC.

Bush talks out of both sides of his mouth. When speaking to audiences concerned about border security he says "we have to protect our borders."

To businessses he says: "We must maintain an ample supply of cheap labor for industry."

Well, you're seeing now you can't have it both ways, fuckwad!

He is ignoring the real issue that is of concern to Americans and illegal immigrants alike: liveable wages. He's playing unions against immigrants and all the rest of us. And Congress has refused to address the calls for minimum wage and health care. But they never neglect to give themselves an annual pay raise. This year they raised their salaries by $3K. Health care is not, and never will be a problem for them. Once they've served, they are covered for life.

So now we have half a million people showing up to protest in city after city about an immigration mess that our so-called "public servants" created through lack of attention and political maneuvering, and they go on another two week vacation, continuing to avoid the crisis.

The best thing for this country will be impeaching Bush and throwing out all the incumbents and starting over. The current contingent is just TOO CORRUPT and beholden to special interests.
