Should George Bush Be Impeached?

Well, I wouldn’t call it an “invasion”. (Actually I consider the failure to stop the inflow of drugs to be much more serious.)
These people will eventually assimilate and become new citizens. (Believe me, their kids already speak flawless English, listen to English-language radio, and the adults are packing the local city-college and technical schools to help better themselves because here they have an opportunity they don’t have in Mexico, and they don’t want to be working at Taco Bell for the rest of their lives.)

Considering that we’ve lost 45 millions potential citizens or so during the last 30 years due to abortion; and that our pyramid-schemes like social security (not to mention the rest of our economy) can’t survive a downward population spiral– finding an additional 10 million new citizens may not be such a bad idea. . .

Friends, we are in great danger, I live in SWFL and there is no effort on the part of Hispanic speaking peoples to learn English. There are neighborhoods that are like little Mexico where only Mecican words advertised businesses. We have a local Mexican only radio station. If you closed your eyes and reopened them in these areas you’d think you woke up in Mexico not America.

If we want to end this maybe we should annex Mexico, the Mexican president would then become a governorship.

The Mexican population is only 106 million. If the 15-20 million illegal aliens are given am-nasty and citizenship each new citizen can then bring five family members into our country that would leave Mexico with a population of less than 6 million. ANNEX MEXICO NOW! How do you think that would play?

A couple of questions and thoughts:
1. If states have practices in place that hinder the protection of borders and/or the apprehension of those in this country illegally (e.g., law enforcement not allowed to determine the legal status of persons, or schools that cannot when enrolling students), how can the Federal Gov’t really succeed in a border control mandate?

2. Is it possible that many states enact policies that intentionally undermine any Federal efforts? Or that state officials/politicians have people in Fed positions that are “friendly” to the their wishes?

3. Is it possible that Congress (which appropriates funds) is more responsible than anyone in the failure of border security? In the politicking that results in “catch and release” scenarios?

4. Is it possible that some in Congress intentionally undermine border security to (a) Score points with special interest groups, (b) try to secure votes for their own reelections, and (c) try to embarrass a president they abhor?

While I agree that President Bush could be a lot more assertive, nothing he says will matter if Congress continues to be more obstructionist than solution-oriented.
Talk of impeachment will only add fuel to those on the Left who already hate Pres Bush, and who (too often) seem to care little for this country to begin with.

Writing or calling your Congresspersons is one thing that would be helpful. Also, don’t hire people who are here illegally, and don’t support those who do it.

A last thought: Be aware and wary of those who actually march and supposedly show support for those breaking our laws. These groups do have influence on some politicians.
According to my research, many involved in marches participate more for their own selfish agendas. (Propaganda is a useful tool for them.)

Answer to your question: No.

yes

For all of you who think the word “invasion” is too strong, the secondary defintion of the word is as follows: “the incoming or spread of something, usu. hurtful.” Sounds to me like a pretty accurate description of what’s going on.

Now, as to whether Bush’s malign neglect of our borders is impeachable or not, I’d be interested to see what an organization like Judicial Watch might think. His actions may not meet a legal standard, but what Bush has violated is the sense of trust Americans usually place in their president that he will act, even if in a misguided way, on behalf of THIS nation’s interests, not those of our neighbors or his personal friends.

Finally, for those who have been paying attention, it’s pretty clear (at least to me) that while Bush may claim to love America, he sure as hell doesn’t like Americans very much. As far back as 2000 he was blathering at the GOP convention about “welcoming the new America” (read: “old” America is over, what’s going to replace is it Hispanics, and I want to be the first president of the “new” America), his response to people who disagree with him is call them bigots and misogynists (see: amnesty and Harriet Miers), and on top of that we’re lazy ( “jobs Americans will not do”).

I guess that’s why Bush wants to import millions of foreigners. Being good, compliant little Bushbots is a job a lot of Americans don’t want to do anymore.

It is important that Bush be impeached. Clinton sold secret missile technology to China which ultimately ended up in Iran. He wasn’t impeached for that fiasco, but it was a sell out.

If ignoring immigration laws, and conspiring with a foreign government against his own citizens is not treason, then treason does not exist.

He has broken the “constitutional” compact as put forth in the preamble of the Constitution. Specifically, he is ignoring our borders and surrendering the sovereign rights of the states to foreign invasion thus endangering a “more perfect union”, US citizens and “domestic tranquility”.

We cannot have presidents subverting the best interests of the American people regardless of political leaning.

I think that calling for impeachment because he’s lax on border issues is idiotic. Flatly just idiotic and reactionary. Yes, he ought to be doing more, I have no problem with that. Yes, he’s wrong for not doing more. But EVERY President for decades has been doing the same song and dance with immigration. Do you think Reagan ought to have been impeached? He offered AMNESTY to Illegals. Get a grip.

The pro-Bush comments above are certainly interesting, like “Invasion” implies that the Mexican government is sending in armies, literally.

Not really. The U.S. could invade, say, Canada, through less explicit, longer-term means. For instance, by sending American partisans to settle in Canada. That would end up being a friendly invasion that would accomplish a similar effect to a military invasion.

If there were millions of Americans in Canada, and the U.S. government was continuously reaching out to them and encouraging them to remain Americans instead of becoming Canadians, that would give the U.S. government tremendous power inside Canada. Those Americans would form a political bloc that the U.S. government could use to influence Canadian elections.

Whether Mexico intentionally planned something like that or not, that’s the current situation we face.

Because of Bush – and previous administrations – the Mexican government has obtained political power inside the U.S.

Regarding the statements that Bush has only failed to do what he pledged to do rather than taking specific anti-American actions, that’s false.

Under Bush the FDIC works with Mexico’s Chicago consulate to give home loans to illegal aliens. There are probably many other things that the Bush administration does that encourages illegal immigration.

The Bush administration also has a USDA program that gives discounted loans to Mexican citizens who want to buy borderland properties in the U.S.

And, the Bush administration seems in favor of a CFR plan to join Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. into an EU-style superstate.

And, several other actions of the Bush administration have sought to undermine efforts to secure the border or perform workplace enforcement.

Yes, LaShawn!

We should impeach Mexican President George W. Bush!

Yikes! That’s the first time I’ve been called “pro-Bush”.

She/he adds:

“Because of Bush – and previous administrations – the Mexican government has obtained political power inside the U.S.”

What is the basis for that statement? Is there any evidence at all that illegal immigrants from Mexico possess some loyalty or fealty to the Mexican government? .

There’s a huge difference between being loyal to one’s heritage (just look at Irish-Americans, Italian-Americans, African-Americans, etc.) and being loyal to one’s former government. Certainly, Castro hasn’t obtained political power due to the influx of illegal immigrants don’t feel loyal to Castro, right?

Anyway, although I’m mostly neutral on the Minutemen, I can certainly identify with the outrage. There’s something unseemly and anti-American about our government monitoring the actions of private citizens groups who are acting legally. I recall the same outrage from the left when it was revealed that the FBI was infiltrating peace activists and anti-war groups. There were cries of “impeachment” then, too.

I won’t say that it’s “nice” to see the shoe on the other foot; but it is interesting.

“When Z visited the CA legislator” -> “When Zedilloi visited the CA legislature”

Here’s another “affirmative offense”. A few years ago the MX gov revived their Matricula Consular card as a way to give IDs to illegal aliens. The House tried to block banks from accepting that card, but the Bush administration fought to allow banks to accept it.

Now, MX consuls criss-cross the U.S. holding mobile consulate events where they pass out those cards to their citizens who are in our country illegally. (They don’t have to go far, since there are more MX consulates in the U.S. than any other country has, approximately 45 with Little Rock on the way).

Not only did the Bush administration fight for those cards, they apparently have no problem with a foreign country passing out IDs for illegal aliens in small towns from coast to coast.

There’s a lot of information out there, so I would suggest spending some time with google rather than believing anything that various apologists say.

Other posters have framed the issue as Bush refusing to do anything, Bush being lax on border security, etc. If that is merely the case, no, he should not be impeached, as his laxness does not rise to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors.

However, yesterday’s revelation that U.S Border Patrol (under the umbrella of the DHS, which was created on Bush’s watch) is tipping off the Mexican government as to the whereabouts of the Minutemen raises the issue to another, more serious level.

If Bush ordered this, then he has affirmatively attempted to undermine U.S. border security, and that IMO would most definitely be an impeachable offense. And given Bush’s past statements about the Minutemen, the speculation is not unreasonable.

If Bush didn’t order the Mexican government tipped off but knew about it, it still might rise to that level, as it certainly falls under what another poster refers to a malign neglect. It would also be, as LaShawn suggested, a clear violation of his oath of office.

If Bush didn’t know that this was going on, then it is up to him to immediately put a halt to it. Failure to do so amounts to an endorsement of the policy.

There are no Democrats now or in my lifetime that I would ever consider voting for. But given Bush’s extreme, almost malicious unwillingness to secure our borders, I deeply regret having voted twice for him.

I voted for GWB twice, am a conservative of the libertarian variety, and I am very PO’d at the lack of border security.

GWB had a choice on what agenda items he would pursue and he decided to push amnesty without security. He could have let it slide, but he and other repub leaders made this choice. They must now be punished for it. Failing in national security due to intentional neglect does rise to an impeachable offense.

This is not about being pro or anti Hispanic, it is about security and economics. I am all for plenty of controlled and managed legal immigration.

However, the repub (only part republican) leadership is failing to secure the border, jeopardizing our safety, and are going to sink Social Security and welfare by giving citizenship to 15-20 MM dirt poor illegals. This will be the biggest pork barrel project ever.

Repub leaders and Bush are idiots and I now hate them. I used to tolerate them as the lesser of 2 evils, but now I HATE them. Dems are who they are, socialists. Repubs are now the worse evil by pretending they are something they most certainly are not, conservative.

We need to bring down the repubs this year. They need a time out or some time in the woodshed for their bad behavior and should stay there until they are again full republicans. We could use some government paralysis with real conservatives being the bomb throwers again. They can’t do this with repubs in charge.

Vote libertarian and consider impeaching GWB.

I love your blog. I respect you greatly.
I admire you in many ways.
I ask you to please stop sailing over this cliff.
A mass illegal immigration is not an invasion.
your thinking is self-destructive.
Please. stop.

Another person who didn’t read the post. OK. I give up. – Admin

Yesterday I was calling for Bush’s impeachment over this, even though I voted for him twice, so long as Cheney would replace him. I still feel the same way.

If I may take a moment to rant………

I immigrated to this Country from the Soviet Union and had to wait 4 years, living in several countries, before an American family sponsored us. Only then could my family and I enter. I resent that latinos, and Mexicans in particular, feeeeeel it is their right to enter this country when they please, use social services provided by taxpayers, drop anchor babies that become US citizens (abolish the 14th Amendment), nearly 30% of federal inmates are illegals, many gangs including crime syndicates like MS 13 have flowed through our porous borders, drugs and people are being smuggled across, diseases that have essentially become wiped out are now on the rise in many US cities due to illegals who enter without physical examinations, our schools are inundated with children of illegals especially here in Los Angeles and many clinics along the border have closed due to treating illegals that have no means of paying their bills. The cost of educating illegals, providing healthcare for them, the strain on our social services, the incarceration of their criminals and the subsidizing of their lifestyle due to under-the-table employment are now costing us more annually than our military expenditures. Nearly $500 billion.

Our country has immigration laws. These are not for show; they are laws that must be enforced. Our country is a sovereign nation with defined borders that must be protected. For a sitting President to disregard the laws he is obligated to uphold, especially after 9/11, in my arrogant opinion is cause for impeachment. At the very least a severe beating behind the woodshed. Now Bush is not only derelict in this aspect but he is attempting to obstruct the defensive actions of American citizens (Minutemen) by informing the Mexican govt of their whereabouts. Sure Bush will deny any knowledge of this but he no longer has the benefit of the doubt with me. He has shown supreme arrogance in not enforcing our borders so I suspect that he is not only aware of what’s going on but has played a role in it. Bush wants a form of 21st century slavery for his business buddies while hard working Americans foot the bill and suffer greatly. If millions of people stopped paying their taxes would the govt sit idly by doing nothing? Of course not. All hell would break loose. Our spineless politicians need to stop pandering to the lawbreakers and do what’s best for this country. And a wave of third worlders, by in large uneducated, is not what’s best. I also resent the liberal morons arguments of these people are “nice and work hard”. If that’s going to be the criteria for unfettered immigration then we might as well take in hundreds of millions from around the globe. America is the most charitable, tolerant nation on earth; but we must be reasonable. Our coffers aren’t infinite.

La Shawn,

You have GOT to be kidding me.

By these standards, you’d have to take out all of Congress, which spells revolution.

I won’t endorse it. What we have is too good.

God bless you

Yes, Impeach! Bush failed to act on the mexican issue when he was governor of Texas, and he’s failing again NOW. Furthermore, as it becomes fairly evident that the whole run-up to Iraq was a fairy tale, which VP Cheney(Halliburtion, now profiting in Iraq) helped WRITE, top it off with ’snoop at will’, and with a side dish of Congress selling itself like a 20 dollar street whore, for MY nickel that’s enough to ask a lot of these guys n gals to resign en masse.

Humorous note: Didya read about Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh, two of BushCo’s most vocal supporters, both in trouble with the law?

In my view, November can’t get here soon enough. I just hope to GOD that the dems have SOMEthing on tap in the back room, there, worthy of the task of reforming Congress, kicking the oil companies out of the white house, and bringing proper checks and balances back into play. It’s going to be a herculean task, doing things like
pulling the plug on mega-spending, rooting out all the rats that claim to represent us while living high on the hog off their payola, basically bringing Washington at LARGE back toward some kind of lawful standards.

Reform’s gonna be a bit of a bear, but it’s nothing we can’t handle. It might help to review good ol’ JFK, and remember the first two words of his most famous statement…”Ask NOT…”, as they were the most profound words spoken by one guy in our recent history. ‘Ask not’. Think about it. Part of the way we got to where we are now is by people begging, pleading, demanding, “GIMME”!!!!!. Given the weak-mindedness of our Congress, who, among their other duties, are SUPPOSED to be effective stewards of our federal budget, we’ve seen literally TRILLIONS flushed down the toilet, which we now owe interest on, nationally, the current damage is upwards of 8.3 trillion in red ink, they’re just not doing the job they were assigned to, instead feathering their personal nests and those of their ‘constituents’ or ‘contributors’, amounts to the same thing.

Yeah, reform won’t be easy. But, it’s gotta happen, regardless. And, Mexico needs to move home and fix their own damn problems. We, The People, flat-out can’t afford to support THEM, the Mexican People. Mexico needs to buy a clue, and a bus ticket, and go take care of their home country, before it, too, gets flushed down the toilet by collective apathy. Those that wish to become americans may apply, like everyone else, but those that have no such intention, probably over half, can hop the next southbound bus, and good riddance. Anyway, first step is to impeach, and work from there…

Let’s see defraud the country and Congress into a war based on lies.That’s reason enough to impeach him.

However, since Bush is totally incompetent, I say let him flounder. Let everyone that voted for him see him for the ineffective, fear mongering, corporate hack he is.

I challenge anyone on this site to tell me anything he’s done right.

Our first Mexican President was Reagan, why isn’t his portrait displayed as one who encouraged this invasion?

I’m a conservative first and a republican second. Should George W. Bush be impeached? That’s a very good question. Part of me says yes. Part of me says no. I hate to give liberals meat to chew on, but the president’s wanting “amnesty” for 11 million invaders is borderline treason. Our country is suppose to exist on the premise of three foundation blocks. Those would be “language” “culture” “border”. If the president would have been tough with a border policy, we wouldn’t be seeing “Espanol” this and that right now. I can’t even pick up a grocery item without it being written in Spanish along with english. All three blocks are interconnected. Because of Bush pandering to illegals for business interest, our borders are wide open. With out borders wide open, illegals are pouring into our country. Our language and culture as a country has suffered greatly because of it. All I hear from Bush is talk about a “guest worker program”. For him to care more about “Big Business” then the borders of America is still on the lines of treason. Republicans in the Senate that are going along with the President on this need to be voted out in the primary’s. This is exactly why congress should have term limits. People will sell their souls to maintain power. I really can’t say if this is all Bush’s fault or the people advising him. I can say for sure is this. Bush’s approval rating is around 30%, I bet a huge chunk of that number is reflected in a large disapproval rating among the conservative base.

I would support the impeachment of Mr. Bush in a heartbeat. There should be enough support from true-blue conservative republicans in congress to make it happen too. There’s ample evidence to support the claim that he’s encouraging the invasion and further, that he’s belligerently hostile to any effort to protect the borders. If that doesn’t constitute treason I’m not sure what would.

LaShawn, you’ve obviously put a lot of thought into this. The only point I would make is with your statement that “America’s founders codified the notion that ‘We the People’ would govern the country by a representative democracy.” Respectfully, Madison and the Federalists would be spinning in their graves by your use of the term “representative democracy” to describe our system of government. The Founders gave us a Republic.

By design, I really didn’t. Most people completely missed the point. – Admin

ljbgranny,
I’m curious…what do you say to “brother George” in regards to when he says…Christians and Muslims worship the same God (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=35787)?

I dunno know about you, but that’s not the God of the Bible, so I have to wonder what God he worships? If it’s not the same one, is he really brother? Remember Christ said “profess me before men” (that’s not exactly what “brother” George does…matter fact, he has stopped saying Jesus Christ and now refers to the generic “god” title or uses the “Almighty” (another generic title that can mean any false god on the market).

Just some food for thought.
