ALIPAC Note: With reports coming in from around the nation of a split in the conservative base over the Bush amnesty and open borders plans, the nations most frequented conservative website erupted into a mutiny against Bush policies on Thursday.

This article below elicited the response. Please take the time to read this article and the comments of many conservatives that are dismayed by Bush's statements about the Minuteman Project on FreeRepublic.com As many of you know, Free Republic had made previous efforts to control the debate by purging immigration reform users ...
WACO, Texas — President Bush yesterday said he opposes a civilian project to monitor illegal aliens crossing the border, characterizing them as "vigilantes."

He said he would pressure Congress to further loosen immigration law.

More than 1,000 people — including 30 pilots and their private planes — have volunteered for the Minuteman Project, beginning next month along the Arizona-Mexico border. Civilians will monitor the movement of illegal aliens for the month of April and report them to the Border Patrol.

Mr. Bush said after yesterday's continental summit, with Mexican President Vicente Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin at Baylor University, that he finds such actions unacceptable.

"I'm against vigilantes in the United States of America," Mr. Bush said at a joint press conference. "I'm for enforcing the law in a rational way."

The Minuteman Project was born out of a long-held perception among many residents that more Border Patrol agents are needed to handle the flow of illegal immigrants.

Mr. Bush was criticized by both Republicans and Democrats earlier this month for failing to add 2,000 agents to the Border Patrol, as set out in the intelligence overhaul legislation he signed in December.

connection to any big picture.

These vigilantes, very dangerous folks, are a direct result of the SW Republican blind eye toward "labor" crossings on the border. Those folks form a big workforce across the SW. Bush wants to have some sort of "guest worker" program that replenishes itself every three years - I suspect Fox saw through that and Bush was told to answer that he was against the vigilante groups - as if that was an answer.

Pretty shortsighted, manipulative and irresponsible of our Prez...

My favorite comment:



Wow! Just now beginning to wake up to the fact that if you want *compassion,* you voted for the WRONG FUCKING PARTY, you dipwad!

And Dipwad is a good name to use for these dumbfecks!

I also didn't know they knew people were poor! Wow.

"Can someone please explain Bush's apparent lack of logic on border control?"
He is taking care of his rich elite friends/campaign contributors who want an unlimited supply of cheap labor to exploit.

So best to just volunteer your time. Especially if you're rich enough to own your own plane.

This is very funny. In the back of their minds, they do kinda get that cheap labor flowing over the border may NOT be good for them.

Hell just froze over:

:crazy:

wasn't he "for" it before he was "against it".

From what I've heard, Rim Job will ban you for criticizing his idol over this issue. Between Schiavo and immigration, the Freepers are flying apart at the seams.

it shouldn't be. He's been hot for alien amnesty since day one and Fox has incessantly proposed open borders for 4 years because Dubya won't categorically say no. Idiot freepers know who they voted for, but don't have the first clue about what they voted for.

If Hillary would secure our borders, I would vote for her. The problem is, she will insist she will, get elected - and then won't.
The stupid GOP is laying the seeds of their own (and our) destruction. Terri isn't the one who is brain dead in this country!

did these folks think they were voting for!!!!!! A Lexus in every garage???

all millionaires when they retire.

they have no right to bitch. So now they find that this is a bitter pill to swallow...tough. I hope all these Republican bastards have their jobs outsourced.

Personally, I have a friend of the family who is a die hard rightie, he voted for Bush, he is now unemployed. I have no sympathy for him and refuse to help him find work. Spiteful yes, but some people have to be burned before they will believe the fire is hot.
