Illegal Immigration Watch: President Bush – “We Do Not Yet Have Full Control of the Border and I am Determined to Change That.”

Michelle Malkin says SAME OLD, SAME OLD
Based on the excerpts, Flap agrees and Bush is in trouble with his conservative base.
But, Flap will wait for the speech.
MORE OF THE SAME = BUSH’S SPEECH

A U.S. Border Patrol agent looks at the Rio Grande river with Mexico on the left and the U.S. on the right, Texas May 2, 2006. President Bush is expected to call for thousands of National Guard troops along the U.S.-Mexico border to help curtail illegal immigration as debate over the divisive issue heats up.

ASSociated Press: Bush to Say Border Not Fully Under Control

President Bush is to order as many as 6,000 National Guard troops to increase enforcement at the Mexican border, part of a $1.9 billion drive to tighten security and win conservative backing in Congress for a broad election-year overhaul of the nation’s tattered immigration laws.

“We do not yet have full control of the border and I am determined to change that,” Bush is expected to say in remarks prepared for a prime- time speech from the Oval Office.

The speech will come as the Senate begins work on legislation to strengthen border security, authorize new guest worker programs and give an eventual chance at citizenship to most of the estimated 12 million people already living illegally in the United States.

“Tonight I am calling on Congress to provide funding for dramatic improvements in manpower and technology at the border,” Bush is expected to say.

How do you spell WINDOW DRESSING?

Is President Bush clueless on illegal aliens and illegal immigration?

Congressional officials who were briefed in advance of the speech said the president would ask Congress to increase the number of Border Patrol agents and to support construction of additional facilities to detain illegal immigrants. They said the National Guard troops would not be involved in law enforcement, but would take support jobs currently held by federal agents, freeing them for front-line duty.

Four conditions must be met before a comprehensive immigration reform bill is considered by the Congress:

1. Send the National Guard to the border but allow them to bolster enforcement until more border patrol agents are trained and ON THE JOB.

2. Support legislation in the Congress to fund the training and deployment of additional border agents/officers. Ony when these officers are deployed in sufficient numbers to deter illegal immigration should the National Guard be redeployed away from the border.

3. Support legislation to fund and build physical barriers and walls to physically impede the flow of illegal aliens coming across the border. “Virtual” fencing is NOT acceptable alone. There must be REAL physical impediments to the flow of people.

4. Enforce existing immigration laws against employers. Fine them big, jail corporate leaders, if you have must. America must be freed from the addiction of cheap Mexican and illegal labor.

After you have accomplished these four proposals, and the border is sealed, THEN AND ONLY THEN, we can discuss Guest Worker and Path to Citizenship proposals for the folks who are already here.

On citizenship, the White House told congressional officials the president planned to say that illegal immigrants, required to stand in line behind legal immigrants applying to become citizens, are not being granted amnesty.

If IT SOUNDS LIKE AMNESTY, WALKS LIKE AMNESTY AND TALKS LIKE AMNESTY.

IT IS AMNESTY……

Stay tuned for the President’s address at 5 PM PST.
