President Bush to Address the Nation Tonight, Again Calling for a Guest Worker Amnesty

President Bush to Address the Nation Tonight, Again Calling for a Guest Worker
Amnesty

Tonight at 8 pm EST the President of the United States will try,
once again, to use rhetoric to secure our borders. It is a continued example of
the administration's strategy of words—instead of deeds—when it comes to tough
issues.

The President will address the nation from the Oval Office
calling for the National Guard to be deployed to the nation's southern border.
The plan to commit 5,000 National Guard troops along the border is a
wool-over-the-eyes effort to resuscitate the unpopular Hagel-Martinez guest
worker amnesty plan (which died in early April) in the Senate today. The
President believes through this political stunt he can sound tough on security
and the American people will reverse their overwhelming disapproval of his
amnesty schemes.

His plan: use the already overtaxed National Guard to
assist the Border Patrol, but not give them authority or responsibility for
detentions or arrests of illegal crossers. This seems to be taking a direct cue
from the successful Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. (whom the president called a
"vigilante" group), in that they will simply provide "logistical" support.
This sudden push to "do everything… to secure the border" is "what the
American people want," said the President's national security advisor Stephen
Hadley. However, as the Senate continues to debate a massive guest worker
amnesty program, the President has also indicated that his plan to deploy the
National Guard is a token gesture to the conservatives of his party who have
continued to oppose his scheme to bring in millions of foreign workers to take
more American jobs and increase the burden on the middle class.

While
his stunt seems to offer a more secure border, the President will continue to
press for the Hagel-Martinez guest worker amnesty scheme; a true disaster in the
making. Former Speaker of the House and architect of the GOP House takeover,
Newt Gingrich admitted as much yesterday to Tim Russert on Meet the Press: "I
voted in 1986 for the bill which in fact amnestied three — almost three million
people. It said we're going to set up a temporary worker program, it said we're
going to control the border, and it said we're going to enforce the law on, on
employers. None of that happened. So now you are where we are today."

Yesterday, President Bush received a call from Mexican President Vicente
Fox "concerned" about the proposed National Guard deployment. President Bush
seemed to ease Fox's worries about securing our southern border as his office
released a statement saying that Bush is "analyzing the administrative and
logistical support of part of the National Guard, not the army, to help police
the border." That statement alone uncovers the true purpose of this sudden move:
political rhetoric to fool the American people.

While the President
eases the worries of Mexican President Fox, the American people are still being
threatened by not only a border that only looks to be more "secure", but also by
the looming guest worker amnesty proposal set for debate today in the Senate.
Please call your Senators to let them know you are NOT fooled by this "political
stunt" and that anything less than enforcement-only legislation is NOT
acceptable to the majority of Americans. It is time our elected officials listen
to their bosses—the American people.
