George Bush's Wisdom:

George Bush's Wisdom

Two quotes from Tonight's Speech...

For many years, the government did not have enough space in our detention facilities to hold them while the legal process unfolded. So most were released back into our society and asked to return for a court date. When the date arrived, the vast majority did not show up. This practice, called "catch and release," is unacceptable - and we will end it.

....

Therefore, I support a temporary worker program that would create a legal path for foreign workers to enter our country in an orderly way, for a limited period of time. This program would match willing foreign workers with willing American employers for jobs Americans are not doing. Every worker who applies for the program would be required to pass criminal background checks. And temporary workers must return to their home country at the conclusion of their stay.

Illegal Immigrants

Ok, Picture this situation:

Every day when you were at work, someone would pick the lock in your home and then use your washer and dryer. No matter what you do, they always manage to get in the house and use the washer and dryer.

So you call the police.

The police decide not to do anything, since no harm is being done, and decide to pass a local ordinance allowing people to go into homes to use other people washer and dryers.

But by using your washer and dryer they are using your electric and water bill and wearing down the washer and dryer. - - - - - -

Ok, so maybe I have to work on the above example a little more. The fact remains, anyone that enters this country illegally is an Illegal citizen.

What does it say about a government that rewards people that enter the country illegally? How effective is that government? This isn't just a George W. Bush problem, Mr. Clinton also allowed Illegal Aliens to apply for citizenship.

Oh, and on the enforcement side: only 3 companies were punished by hiring illegal aliens in 2005?? While 400 were punished in 1998? Looks like someone isn't doing their job...

State of the Union

Tomorrow night President Bush will be giving the first State of the Union speech of his second term.

I'll be in the Washington DC area while he gives his speech. I don't know if there are any political bars around the DC area that will air the speech, but I will look around.

Key things that Bush will cover:

• Iraq Elections
• Social Security
• National Security (Post 9/11 Era)
• Economy

Hopefully he'll outline the Iraq exit strategy. Let's see how much of the speech is focus on International affairs and domestic affairs. Since this is a State of the Union, it should focus on mostly domestic issues.
