America "Lost"


Now that Ted Kennedy's legislation has passed and over 12 million illegal immigrants granted immunity, all hope is lost. Americans have watched live on television the theft of a nation and non of them seem to care. The president himself now is swearing in illegals in a celebration of the loss of America (Pictured to the left).

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush warned the U.S. Congress on Monday against fearmongering as he kicked off an election-year battle over immigration against a backdrop of noisy and emotional protests in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Detroit.
On Capitol Hill, senators pushed for compromise legislation to better secure America's borders while offering millions a chance to be in the country legally, setting up a politically bruising battle with the U.S. House of Representatives, where the Republican majority has come out against legal incentives.

Bush used a swearing-in ceremony for 30 new American citizens to push his own plan to create a temporary workers program and warned lawmakers to conduct a civil debate on the issue, which has divided the party that put him in power.

"No one should play on people's fears or try to pit neighbors against each other," Bush said. "No one should pretend that immigrants are a threat to American identity, because immigrants have shaped America's identity." (Yes and they contiue to shape our identity as a country of poverty stricken idiots)

With his job approval rating at the lowest of his presidency, Bush is facing a new test of his political strength during a congressional election year, weeks after Republicans deserted him on a controversial deal to allow an Arab company to manage six U.S. ports.

The U.S. public is divided between those who favor curbing illegal immigration with tighter border security and tougher enforcement and those who say it is essential to bring some of the estimated 12 million illegal workers out of the shadows with a comprehensive overhaul.

Immigrant groups, labor unions and some business groups are pushing for broad reform that would give undocumented workers a way to earn permanent status and eventual citizenship. But many conservative Republicans, who normally back Bush, say that is a form of amnesty and would reward people for illegal behavior. (Ted Kennedy has rewarded them already)

In Los Angeles on Monday, hundreds of mostly Latino students blocked two major downtown freeways, chanting in Spanish and waving flags from Mexico and El Salvador. (VERY AMERICAN)Traffic was snarled until police could move the students off the road but no accidents, injuries or arrests were reported.
