President Bush Pledged To The Mexican People

From the Desk of:
Steve Elliott, President
Grassfire.org

Yesterday while in Mexico, President Bush pledged to the Mexican
people that he will "work as hard as I possibly can" to pass an
amnesty bill. Here's what he said:

   "My pledge to you and your government, but more
    importantly to the people of Mexico, is I will work
    as hard as I possibly can to pass comprehensive
    immigration reform."

How dare the President make such a pledge to a foreign government!
But it gets worse. The President used the same speech to chide
you and me -- and rebuke us for not supporting his amnesty plan!

   "In the debate on migration I remind my fellow citizens that
    family values do not stop at the Rio Grande river."

(Full quote at the end of this message.)

+ + "Migration" debate?

That is not a misprint. The President has apparently so far
downgraded the current illegal alien invasion that he now calls
it a "debate on migration"! Migration? This was no slip of the
tongue. Both President Bush and Mexican President Calderon
used "migration" repeatedly and it certainly fits how the
President views the border crisis.

So our President goes to Mexico and pledges to do everything
he can to encourage the free "migration" of Mexicans to our
country!  Even worse -- he wants to totally remove any stigma
of illegality and give tens of millions south of the border
free "migration" rights! And just for fun, he rebukes you
and me along the way!

+ + Can we stop the invasion?

While the President was doing this, Ron De Jong and I were on
Capitol Hill for important strategy meetings to stop the Bush-
Kennedy-Pelosi amnesty train. We also took part in the launch
of Grassfire’s mobile "Stop The Invasion" billboard right on
Capitol Hill.

Please go here for a full report and to see the new mobile
billboard as it circled the Capitol:

Everyone on Capitol Hill is bracing for the Kennedy amnesty bill
which we expect will be worse than last year’s. The good news is,
we came away from our meetings with a two-pronged approach to
defeating this bill -- one on the House side and the other on
the Senate side. We will be sharing details with you in a few
days.

But one thing was clear -- grassroots pressure is OUR ONLY HOPE!
That was the message we heard again and again. Sen. Coburn of
Oklahoma told us directly that the grassroots made all the
difference last year. A key House staffer said that grassroots
citizens are our only line of defense.

I want to keep this mobile billboard circling the Capitol and
the White House until we defeat amnesty. Quite frankly, it
could take months and I need your help.

Please go here to help us Stop the Invasion:

And please alert your friends to the President’s latest outrageous
statements. President Bush is selling out our country's
sovereignty and he’s rebuking us in the process!

Thanks for taking a stand to stop the invasion!

P.S. Here is the full quote from the President as well as a
link to the entire speech:

"The United States respects rule of law. But in the debate on
migration, I remind my fellow citizens that family values do
not stop at the Rio Grande River, that there are decent,
hardworking honorable citizens of Mexico who want to make
a living for their families. And so, Mr. President, my
pledge to you and your government -- but, more importantly,
the people of Mexico -- is I will work as hard as I possibly
can to pass comprehensive immigration reform."
