Schwarzenegger praises Arizona border volunteers — What is wrong with the Democrat party? Schwarzenegger obviously aware that the Feds are going to do nothing to help California in any way has broken from the Bush pro-illegal alien scheme. He knows that we are losing money by the truckloads because of the illegals (as mentioned in this post). So what do the Democrats do? They get on his case and cite Bush policy! Do these people have any clue at at all? It’s ridiculous.
LOS ANGELES – Weighing in again on illegal immigration, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Thursday that volunteers patrolling the Mexican border have “done a terrific job,” and called for the removal of a Spanish-language TV station’s provocative billboards.
Schwarzenegger, speaking to talk radio hosts known for criticizing and campaigning against illegal immigration, said the Minuteman Project in Arizona had been successful in securing the border.
“I think they’ve done a terrific job, and look, they’ve cut down the crossing of illegal immigrants by a huge percentage,” the governor said. “It just shows that it works when you go and make an effort. … I mean it’s a doable thing, and it’s just that the federal government is not doing their job.”
The Republican governor’s comments came a week after he faced a barrage of criticism for telling a gathering of newspaper publishers that the United States needed to “close the borders.” He apologized the next day, blaming his faulty English.
California Democrats blasted the governor’s remarks, noting that President Bush has called the Arizona volunteers “vigilantes.”
Good blog post on the political situation in Mexico here:

Someone who commented on Lou Dobb’s program offered a great idea:
Mexican border guards and the military types already stationed in depth behind Mexico’s northern border already do a decent job at preventing folks from entering Mexico.
Why not take about half of Bush’s budget for border security and write paychecks to the dudes already working at it in Mexico — to stop the export of illegals. They’d probably sort it out in a week or two.

Well worth reading. A great analysis.
All sorts of agendas out there. It’s like a dictatorship of fools or something. You can hardly keep up with it all. Deficits, torture camps, offshoring, outsourcing, oil prices surging and war. The whole country is a terrible mess, the Democrats included. Why anybody would want to come here I don’t know. It’s going to get worse, before it gets better. They should just put couches and shrinks at the border. Down in Washington they are looking to kick the judges out of office, a Tom DeLay project for a right and ready nation. Hells bells!
How can an Mexican get Ins.without a drivers lic.
this mexican man ran a stop sign struck my car, he didn’t have US driver lic., but had Ins., his wife said he couldn’t speak english, but when the police asked him how long he had been in the usa
, he said 1yr.,his wife spoke up and said 2yr.,the mexican friend they had called spoke up and said 3mo., the policeman said that is three different stories, but he has to get a No. Carolina driver lic. by 2 months, so he put on report NO drivers lic.and failure to stop at stop sign. How did he get Ins. without a drivers lic.????
The lady at the resturant next door said this happens allmost every day .
Do you think Honor has been replaced with stupidity in DC ?????
He needs to work out!
We do have RAID 1 0 on the DB servers, a live backup running now, and have done a few other things to ensure this won’t happen again. The timing was unfortunate because things were still in transition because of the datacenter move.
All there is to say is Mr. Gov. Arnold is not exactly an American born citizen, he was an alien himself, he was naturalized in the states. He has come across great opportunites, here, obviously. It’s so sad to see how someone who was an immigrant himself, not help those who are immigrants but in on the contrary against immigraion rights for illegals.
Immigration is good to the econmy because Hispanic immigrants do all the work that ya lazy “legal Americans” aren’t willing to do. When you see people constructing a building- the majority o the time it is an HISPANIC. Why?? Because the whites are probably too dumb to do that kind of work. All they know is how to sit in offices. not only that, but America was created by immigrants… that’s where we get our name Amerigo Vespucci…an immigrants.!!
Illegal immigrants.They are hard workers but they hurt the economy.They work for less on jobs we Americans would do.They cost us education,medical and federal tax money.they get State welfare when out of work.they use stolen social security numbers.One was used 284 times and another 218 times.Matter of record.It will cost the American tax payer 50 to 57 billion a year.cheaper to send them home.They say they are needed for farm industries.But when the work is done whom pays?You and I.
BUILD THE FENCE.Save the stars and strips.The Mexican flag would not look good on our Capital.But then again,remember the Alamo………………………………George
