Bush pledges to work with states to address illegal immigration

The Associated Press

EL MIRAGE, Ariz. - President Bush said today that he will work with Gov. Janet Napolitano and other border governors to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, where political leaders have been calling for help to deal with waves of illegal immigrants.
Bush told a crowd in this retirement community that he understands the federal government's obligation to enforce the border.

"It's important for the people of this state to understand, your voices are being heard in Washington, D.C.," Bush said.

Making reference to U.S. Sen. Jon Kyl, who introduced Bush, the president said "this senator and this Congress are going to work closely with the administration to make sure we have the resources necessary to do our responsibility, which is to enforce this border. And we'll do so."

1. "your voices are being heard in Washington, D.C....."
....as long as you have concerns about spic wetbacks.
If you live in New Orleans, or are concerned about why your son died, not so much."

2. On Road to the White House 2008 I heard a Republican wanna' be
address a crowd of believers. In part he said that he sponsored a bill that gave guest worker status and expanded the green card program.

He said, and I quote, "This bill cut the number of illegal aliens in half!"

Nobody caught it. Right over their heads. Number of ILLEGAL aliens!

Same number of aliens using US resources, taking US jobs but now they're LEGAL!

What a bunch of fools.

5. And thanks for the votes, legal Hispanics.
But now that the election's stolen and your votes are no longer needed, it's time to bend on over like everyone else.
