On immigration, conservatives need to give Bush a break

Medicare and Social Security will become insolvent sooner than estimated earlier, Medicare's trustees said in their annual report, issued May 1.

Mexico has a presidential election on July 2. The leading candidates are Felipe Calderon, a conservative, and Andres Lopez Obrador, a leftist who has the backing of Venezuelan thug Hugo Chavez and Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.

What does this have to do with President Bush's plan for comprehensive immigration reform? Maybe lots.

Medicare and Social Security are going broke chiefly because there aren't enough workers paying into the systems to support beneficiaries. Unless millions of new workers can be found to pay the payroll tax, the retirement of the baby boom generation will bust both programs.

An Obrador victory likely would be a greater blow to our national security than the Ayatollah Khomeini's ouster of the shah of Iran has proven to be. Imagine the harm a Marxist dictator controlling a nation of 108 million people which shares a 2,000-mile border with us can do. President Bush has. You should.

The No. 1 source of revenue for Mexico is remittances from Mexicans working in the United States. Threatening those remittances helps Mr. Obrador. Regularizing them helps Mr. Calderon.

So that you don't think I'm off the beam when I say business is the driving force behind the 'illegal invaders', I've posted this little gem of self-serving balderdash. You can not find a pro-illegal invader article that does not mention business, business, and yet more business. I said yesterday that I know business has to make a profit. Well today I've had enough! I don't care if half the businesses in the nation go out of business. I want the border sealed and the 'invaders kicked out of our country'. Ever cop-out from the pro-illegal invader trash is here in all its glory. Excuse me while I turn my head and hurl projectile vomit across the room.

As for giving 'Mr. I'm In Charge' a break, we've already done that. 'We haven't impeached his sell out sorry ass yet,' although we've still got over 2 years to rectify that omission.
