Bush visits the hill for important issues

As he does whenever there is a matter of great importance, such as going to war, the Iraq spending bill, cutting taxes, Social Security reform and homeland security, President Bush trekked up the hill to congress yesterday to push for Comprehensive Amnesty for 12 million ILLEGAL ALIENS.

No wait. The president didn’t trek up to Capitol Hill to lobby for war – apparently that was not important enough an issue for this president. And it wasn’t important enough to this president to trek up to Capitol Hill to lobby for the last Iraq spending bill or to push for cutting taxes or to push congress to reform a failing Social Security system or to lobby for homeland security. But for 12 million ILLEGAL ALIENS? Why warm up the limo. The president has to get up the hill.

So the next time someone asks why I’m tired of Bush, I’m going to tell them, “Of all of the things that this president might have traveled up the hill to lobby for, he chose Comprehensive Amnesty. Any more questions?”

Then in perhaps the dumbest statement ever uttered or written by anyone in the administration for last six years, there’s this idiocy from Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff who said in a letter that his department "has always vigorously enforced the law, and will continue to do so." Hey Mike! There are 12 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS IN THE COUNTRY!! If that’s enforcing the law, I’d hate to see your department when they are incompetent.

That is why nobody believes the hacks in Washington on this Comprehensive Amnesty bill. If idiots like Chertoff think that they have “vigorously enforced the law” with 12 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS running around unchecked, what can we expect from a new Comprehensive Amnesty law? 45 Million illegal aliens running around unchecked – that’s what.

Chertoff would have been much better off saying, “Look we’ve done a lousy job enforcing our current laws. 12 MILLION ILEGAL ALIENS proves that. And that’s why we need this more comprehensive approach and a clean slate – so we can get on track and for the first time in 40 years start to take Homeland Security on our southern border seriously.”

That - “we’ve always vigorously enforced the law” - is bull$h&t of the highest order.
