1 How did you know I was cleaning my toliet?

Did you read my blog already this morning?

2 Oh.

That's bad.

Even for me.

3 I saw it. He spoke of 5 objectives.

1 - Secure the border and eliminate the catch and release practices we have now. All fine and good to this point.

2 - Temp worker program. ID cards and tracking. This could be business as usual, but with fancy new cards. No enforcement of anything dealing with illegal aliens, but hey, we can spend a few billion on cards.

3 - Hold employers accountable. Right, like they have done a good job enforcing what is on the books now.
How about raid a tyson chicken processing plant and bus any illegals found back home. Spread rumors to other plants that they will be raided next and see how many illegals show up for work. Naaa, that resembles a deterrent, just make a new law and don't enforce it.

4 - Amnesty. If you are already in the country, you pay a fine and count to 3 in English and then you are a citizen.
So pretty much forgiveness for past offenses, but of course this is not amnesty. It is just exactly the definition of the word, but don't call it that. Got it.

5 - He was talkng about assimilating in our society and stressing the importance of learning English. He almost sounded as if he was pushing for English as the official language of the country, but didn't have the balls to say it.

On the positive side to this speech, it is at least a start.

On the realistic side, smoke, meet mirrors, mirrors, smoke.

I give him a D.

4 All talk, no action. I read the transcript, but couldn't stomach actually watching it. Instead, I was leading and teaching young Cub Scouts about citizenship at that time. Yes, I'm aware of the irony.

5 I give him an F. Big time.

I wasn't home to watch it live but I did see a re-run on CPspan. I don't know what to say.
Except-- where is Tancredo?? I want him in the WH.
NOW.

6 I hear Tancredo was in the Green room with Michelle Malkin, both shaking their heads together.

7 After today even the most dense should know that the president doesn't have the power to do what most idiots think he should do. The first thing the senate did today was kill one of the immigration bills. That is the democrats joined by a few RINO's that should be job hunting after Nov. shot down the bill. The government works this way, the president proposes a bill, the congress, all 535 of the losers, spend a lot of days and your money making deals and the one with the most money wins. If it passes the president gets to sign or veto it. That's his total power in the vacuem of D.C. Need another reality lesson?

8 That veto power is absolutely huge today -- there's no way 2/3 of either house could agree on anything right now.
