President Bush provided an example of “an illegal immigrant making good” during his speech tonight:
On a visit to Bethesda Naval Hospital, Laura and I met a wounded Marine named Guadalupe Denogean. Master Gunnery Sergeant Denogean came to the United States from Mexico when he was a boy. He spent his summers picking crops with his family, and then he volunteered for the United States Marine Corps as soon as he was able. During the liberation of Iraq, Master Gunnery Sergeant Denogean was seriously injured. When asked if he had any requests, he made two a promotion for the corporal who helped rescue him and the chance to become an American citizen. And when this brave Marine raised his right hand, and swore an oath to become a citizen of the country he had defended for more than 26 years, I was honored to stand at his side.
An honorable and noble individual serving his country of choice, for certain. But here in Texas (a state that Bush occasionally helps clear brush from time to time), we have plenty of counter-examples to Master Gunnery Sergeant Denogean enjoying three squares a day, a cell in Huntsville, and the possibility of getting boo-hooed over by Danny Glover and Edward James Olmos worth considering.
This one strikes particularly close to home:
Florida Department of Corrections #73584 on a 20 year sentence for Burglary, vehicle theft, and aggravated assault (on an hispanic male with a knife), paroled 8/27/1985; FCI #35285-079 on 18 month sentence for Immigration Illegal Re-entry and False Representation to be a Citizen, discharged to detainer in 1987; FCI on 30 month sentence for False Statement to USINS and Use of Alias with Intent to Induce a Passport, discharged to detainer in 1991 to New Mexico State Prison; New Mexico State Prison #41648 on 18 month sentence for Residential Burglary, paroled 4/3/1993
Bounced around, passed around like a hot potato, catch-and-release, yadda yadda yadda.
And the end result?
On 12/17/1998 during the night in Houston, Resendiz killed an adult Hispanic female by beating her to death with a statuette from the victim’s home. Resendiz had broken into the victim’s house by going through an open door. Resendiz took the victim’s cash and fled the scene in the victim’s jeep. Resendiz is believed to have committed a series of murders throughout Texas and other states.
Barring interference from judges at various levels, we’ll be sticking a needle in his arm in late June and shipping him back to Vicente Fox shortly afterwards.
How many more Railway Killers are in this nation’s future when the floodgates are opened, President Bush?
It’s so strange that the hardcore Bush is seemingly puttering now…
Where’s the guy who took out two whole nations and installed democracy? Where’d he go?
I didn’t catch that the seargent was an illegal immigrant.
When I was in Basic and Advanced training in the Army in 1988-89,
I worked with men from Mexico, Nigeria, Nicaragua,
and even a former Polish Intelligence Officer who had emigrated
and joined the Army as an enlisted man.
I don’t know the stats,
but there are legal immigrants in the armed forces-
I’m told that it can be a fast track to citizenship for them.
It took Master Gunnery Sergeant Denogean
26 years to become a citizen,
not much ‘fast-tracking’ there for some reason.
President Bush says the “Congress” needs to pass this bill by the end of the month…and who are they controlled by? HIS GUYS! Jeesh…what a bunch of losers! They are all afraid of Harry Reid and Ted Kennedy! They should be kicked out of office and we should start over again!
Hello-
Just found your blog here, and I have to say, I’m very, very impressed. I’ve read a few posts, and I’m very glad I found this place!
I totally agree with you on these immigration points and on Bush. I was a die-hard supporter for the last 8 years, although I turned 18 four months after the 2000 election. Unfortunately, since then, the so-called “Conservatives” in this country, Bush included, have sold us out, spent our money, and pandered to every special interest group that has come with their hands out. Next, we’ll hear that Osama Obama and John McCain have joined forces to run under the republican ticket in 2008…
Bush is no more a conservative than his father was (if you’ll remember, it was his father that coined the phrase “New World Order”). Bush has had an agenda since taking office to open both the northern and southern borders, and has fought to meld our country with all others on the North American continent.
It’s a shame that the monkey-faced liberals are so ignorant they don’t even know the right reasons to not like George W Bush.
Some do.
This is for when the world will be just as in 1984, region nafta will be one of the warring countries.
To the point: I would like to see north america without immigrants. That would leave just a few million redskins had they not been genocided by the european emigrants of whom you are so proud of.
