Jeeeeeesus FUCKSHIT!!!

Gods, how do these people's brains function? How can they parse this shit? As far as I can tell, this is truly how their minds are set:

Anything good that happened in the Clinton administration happened in spite of him.
Everything bad that happened was directly his fault or that of his wife.
Anything good that has come about during Shrubbo's tenure as Chimp in Thief is directly his glory.
Everything that goes wrong was due to those pesky liberals and leftists who are trying hard to undermine his "great work".

Anything I halfhandedly might "blame" on Bush immediately brings out comments of how "this decision had nothing to do with Bush. It was entirely a seperate group who came up with it." And more than half of those commments end with " ... probably a hold-over from Clinton."

Seriously? How can it go from "All the president's fault" to "Not the president's fault" simply due to the token political party each gets their funding?

Bush is keeping them damn furriners out, see.

As opposed to the very real attitude that illegal immigrants should be given voter status by the Democrats?

Wasn't that the Bush plan back in 03? Give the illegal immigrants voting status until after the election ... then deport them.

Which is where a number of us deviate from him and are unhappy about any program that allows illegals some legal status. The way the program was couched was a guest worker program which in my mind is a fellow that applies for the job over seas, comes to work, makes money and then leaves.

Permanent residency should not enter into the equation.

Illegal Immigrants are not 'furriners'.

They're staff.

(Bush and US Administration paranoia keeps ME out of the US. And I liked the damn place).

What you're seeing is more than just the Bush Administration. Green Card was not written under the Bush Administration. It's status quo, but hardly new policy.

Personally, I'd like to see a setup whereby nations on a given list (pretty much the Commonwealth, Japan, some parts of Europe) would have the ability to send workers here and we could send workers there with a minimum of red tape and minimal prior permission to do so. No waiting lists, etc. The caveat being that if you go there, you have to pay or have your insurance provided for and you can't use public assistance except in the most dire of situations. Thus, you'd not be a burden. It would grease the wheels of international commerce and help build additional interrelations between those nations.
