Bush Emphasizes English, Assimilation for Immigrants

Sounds good but action would sound a lot better

Continuing his campaign to build support for comprehensive immigration legislation, President Bush on Wednesday emphasized that illegal immigrants who want to stay here should learn English and demonstrate that they are committed to assimilating into American culture.

After visiting a community center where immigrants learn English, Bush coupled a call for strict border enforcement with a plea that newcomers be treated compassionately.  He said immigrants should know there is a legal way to stay, if they are willing to make the effort: “One is to say you got to pay a fine for being here illegally. You got to learn the English language. In other words, you got to repay a debt to society and learn the skills necessary to assimilate into our society. Show us you’ve been working hard.”

In recent weeks, Bush has labored to convince conservatives that he has heard their demands for a more serious effort to prevent illegal immigrants from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. He is calling for a doubling of U.S. Border Patrol agents and is deploying 6,000 National Guard troops to bolster border enforcement in the meantime.  On Wednesday, Bush appeared to put greater emphasis on other elements of the debate, visiting a community center that offers assistance to immigrants living in Omaha. He also announced the creation of a federal task force to help people at the grass roots teach English and civics to newcomers.

So how does this amnesty differ from the 1986 amnesty?  Why should we expect the results to be any different, ie: a failure to honor the promises of increased enforcement resulting in a dramatic increase in the influx of illegals?

Just more wool over our eyes.Job postings for immigration processing officers have recently increased five-fold,while postings for deportation officers have remained static.Funding has already been approved by Congress,without any fanfare[surprise,surprise],and the ICEis gearing up for a done deal[amnesty in some form].Bend over,America,and kiss your nation goodbye.

And yet he declared the other day that English will not be written into law as the official language of the U.S.!

Fred makes some very good points. It makes me wonder, therefore, who that particular individual is in the top left side of this webpage: http://dissectleft.blogspot.com

The author is a moron.  Conservatives don’t want illegals to be prevented from crossing the border; we want illegals to be REQUIRED to cross the border.

Yes, JJR, why is that monkey-brained nation-destroyer, not to put too fine a point on it, given top billing at DL?

Sessions[R],which has gotten little or none,exposure in the MSM.If you think Social Security is a boondoggle,then this bill is a total cluster-fuck.

Just yesterday I posted download instructions to a free video on my four day old blog:

The Turning of the Tide

Permanent link: http://the-turning.blogspot.com/2006/06/download-this-free-video.html

The video is a two hour documentary film on The Minuteman Project called “The Line In The Sand”. People who have never cared much for immigration issues DO wake up when they see with their own eyes how bad things have become.

Where words, logic, arguments and common sense fail it seems moving pictures succeed. Anyone who sees this video will be struck right between the eyeballs by the scenes of Mexican mobs yelling “go back to Europe!”

The video is a free download and the distributor encourages you to make copies of it and to distribute them widely (but not for commercial gain). Please do so, blank DVDs are dirt cheap and this documentary is very very convincing.

Here’s a hint of my man Bolten’s plan:

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/10/washington/10murtha.html

His boys may fail to force the immigration bill through the Republican House with J. Dennis “majority of the majority” Hastert as gatekeeper, but if the Democrats take the House, the Senate bill is as good as law.
