Rush asked a good question on his show today…when did “illegal aliens” become “undocumented immigrants”?? I didn’t get that memo? Did any of you? Another case of one side in the debate trying to shape the debate by altering the…

He danced all around the “giving them status” issue, never saying yes, but saying that we have to give them something (that sure isn’t no). How about a bus ticket across the border? Hannity was wearing him out.

Don’t forget Richardson is probably going to run for President in ’08? I call this posturing, no matter how right he was in this case. He did it to himself.

Raymond I’m disappointed. Where is your fighting spirit? I’m still counting on the second American Revolution at which time we can put a stop to at least three of those problems. There is nothing to do about taxes I’m afraid.

It’s dead-on LSB.

I think that if any politician were to ‘get tough’ on illegal aliens that they’d be signing their own political death warrants….sad, but true IMO.

My idea on this: dig a trench along the border and fill it with gasoline…

Tancredo seems to be the only one who has the guts to take the issue on.

Parents who truly love their children and actually value real education don’t send their beloveds to government run social indoctrination day care units unless they absolutely have to.

I do agree that the national leaders of both parties are corrupt and inept on the illegal alien invasion issue but Conservatives have not been silent and inactive and if anyone speaks sincerely on the dangers it is more than likely a Republican.

Richardson has as about as much credibility as gay preacher talking about sin.

I would suggest you all not get too excited on this illegal invasion issue. There are four guarantees in life. Death, Democrats will pick the next Supreme Court Justices, Mexico will reclaim the Southwestern United States and of course taxes.

On this issue, President Bush though I love him will fold up like a cotton baby blanket.

Now we have little interest in “illegal” aliens. Soon, the pc crowd will start calling them “uninvited” alien guests.

Richardson is smart to get his 2008 middle America credentials solidified by being the first out of the chute on the border issue. Mark Twain called his position the same as “a Christian holding five aces.” If he meant what he has said, he would call out the National Guard. But he doesn’t mean it; so he is tossing a little spare change at it knowing it will all get tied up in ACLU bickering and he can sit back and fashion a bunch of helpful sound bites about running against Washington.

Florida, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California do not have the will to keep driver’s licenses from illegal aliens. They don’t have the will to come up with voter picture ID cards. They all have a serious, serious, serious problem with emergency rooms closing because of non-paying illegals and the governors and legislatures can not get off the dime.

We have had green card migrant workers for as long as I can remember. Why, just now, do we no longer care if they obey the law and stick to the migrant rules?

Both political parties have tin ears on this issue. I am more than ready for a sheriff, a DA, or a big city mayor to take a NIMBY (not in my back yard) stand and be a Teddy Roosevelt on this issue.

Maybe Mel Brooks should make an update of Blazing Saddles to demonstrate how fat and lazy our representatives have become on the Mexican border issues.

Are you serious? How is Richardson a racist? Wanting people to enter the country *legally* (key word there) is racist? I’m confused.

If, in fact, you are joking and I’ve missed the joke, my apologies.

However, lest anybody thinks I have lost my cynicism gene, I cannot but wonder: is the President “going easy” on the Hispanic immigration issue to curry favor with a major demographic (nationally, but notably in Texas and Florida)that is beginning to lean away from knee-jerk obeisance to the Democratic party

Doesn’t he realize this country was built on immigrants.

The people of New Mexico should rise up and ask this Democrat governor to resign because of his racism…
