Me? A Racist?

OK, well I certainly never thought so, but I must be, after all, that's what President Bush said. He said that people on the right who are not in favor of the new illegal immigrant amnesty bill are racists. He is wrong of course. As I've said before, President Bush has never been serious about securing our borders, and that's why he loves this bill, because it really doesn't do that. Oh sure, it sounds good on paper, saying that the Z Visa's will not be issued to illegals until "Certain triggers" have been met. But what they don't tell you is that these triggers that they talk so much about are all about money. The fence doesn't have to be finished, or even started, as long as the trigger amount of money has been spent on it. The Border Patrol doesn't have to be up to what the bill allegedly calls for, just that the trigger amount of money has to be spent on it. So the fact is that the border doesn't have to be secured before legal status is granted to millions of illegal aliens. Now, for myself, as with most other grassroots conservatives, just want the borders secured first. We don't need a bill that tries to solve the whole issue at one time, we need the borders secured, and then we can deal with the ones that are already here. I'm not even against some sort of guest worker program, but not blanket amnesty like what this bill is proposing. So, no Mr. President, those of us who want a real solution to a real problem are not racists, we just want you to do the job you were elected to do, and not hurl insults at the people who elected you to do the job in the first place.
