Finally, El Presidente decides that maybe, just maybe, Americans might be serious about our desire to live in a safe and secure country. For 6 years Jorge “Doble U” Arbusto has done everything in his power to completely and utterly ignore the growing situation on the border. Instead he has been running around touting the idea of a non-amnesty program that, when it really comes down to it, is just an amnesty program by another name. Bigsibling things El Presidente Arbusto did not pay attention in the escuela when famous poet, writer and all around romantic dude Billy S. said “a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet” (or something like that – it’s been a long time since Bigsibling has been in school).
Look, here is the low down from those of us in middle America. We’re willing to go along with their non-amnesty amnesty program IF (and that’s a big IF) they handle the fracking borders first! Dudes, this is like having a gaping gash on your leg, spewing blood all over the floor, and what do you do? Do you stop the bleeding? Hell no, these bozos in Washington run around with rags, towels, mops and scrub brushes wanting to clean up the blood. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that if you don’t stop the bleeding, you’ll never get the blood cleaned up.Â
Weren’t any of these bone heads in office when Ronald Regan – patron saint of the GOP did his whole amnesty thing? What on earth did that solve? Nothing, and now the floor is full of blood again from the gaping fracking wound in our collective leg.
“We need to beef up those (border) operations and the cost will be
substantial,” Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said in an interview. “People
are just not going to accept comprehensive immigration reform unless
they are assured the government is going to secure the border. People
have lost confidence in the federal government because they simply
haven’t addressed this in a dramatic and effective way.”

And I think Bob Dole got it right in a speach in (of all places) Little Rock, Arkansas this week when he said (and I quote):
“Get it done this year so you have something to run on in November,†he
said. “‘We did A, B, C, D,’ instead of ‘We didn’t do A, B, C, D.’â€

Okay, okay, he wasn’t neccessarily talking specifically about immigration, but what the hey, it applies doesn’t it?
Stumble it!
