Judging by our slightly tipsy reaction last night to the Presidential Address, we would've figured there would be some more backlash or political unrest regarding President Bush's idiotic plan of amnesty (yes, it is amnesty, no matter what he tells you - ed.) for the illegals already here, while using the National Guard to help keep the Southern border in order while the Border Patrol gets more help that isn't redneck and loaded with beer and shotguns.But instead, the Senate has passed a measure supporting the vote 55-40, with most of those 40 being on the GOP side, angered that Bush would dare grant amnesty to illegal immigrants, even though technically, we're all here illegally since we stole this land from the Indians, but whatever.
“This is going to be a tremendous enforcement support partnership,” U.S. Border Patrol Chief David Aguilar told reporters at the White House.
“We can certainly do what is asked by our commander in chief,” added Lt. Gen. Steven Blum, National Guard Army Bureau Chief.
So once this gets smashed through the House and signed by Dubya, see you later immigrators. Electric fences around El Paso and other border towns and increased patrols will attempt to stop new illegal immigrants from "swarming" our country and offering their cheap labor to the ditch-digging and general construction fields.
