The True Patriot Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 When you take office,you take a oath to enforce the laws of this country. Giving illegal immigrants work permits isn't enforcing the law. Giving illegal immigrants driving liscense isn't enforcing the law. Giving illegal immigrants the right to vote isn't enforcing the law. It's called misconduct of a public official and that is Malfeasance.

FastNed Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Hello, True, welcome to the Forum. While you fail to mention the Office, I presume your comments are directed at President Bush. Executive Branch office holders, in State and Federal jurisdictions, make policy pronouncements. They do not issue 'work permits'! When one of them signs a "Law" which allows 'Illegals' to obtain a State Drivers License, he does not commit an illegal act. The Law may be stupid, foolish or perhaps even unconstitutional but as it has been passed by the Legislative Branch and forwarded to the Executive for signature, on its face, it is a new "Law" and can not be 'illegal'! The necessity for homeland security should be driving this debate - we can not have, let us say, ten million 'illegals' in our midst and expect any homeland security to exist. I believe President Bush is being quite pragmatic and forcing us to see the elephant in our backyard which so many have for so long refused to see. Like everything else coming from Washington, there is a political element to it all and it is unfortunate that this is an election year because many will attempt to make this an election issue rather than treat it as an important security matter.

Rasputin Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 True, the current Bush policy is correct there are many reasons for it. The issue is complicated. There is another post on the issue http://www.mapleleafweb.com/community/foru...=15entry15480 Most people don't recognise that border security's budget has grown hugely in the last 20 years. The perception is that the US is doing nothing, this is not true. The reality is that jail time for business owners that hire illegals might be the best way to slow down the traffic.
