The White House says it supports �a reasonable increase in the annual limit� of Mexican immigrants and criticizes Congress for not passing his amnesty proposal, blaming it on election-year politics. I just do not understand the president�s tin ear on this issue. We have somewhere around 8-10 MILLION illegals in this country right now...with no plan to enforce our existing immigration laws...and yet the president wants to INCREASE the number of Mexican immigrants allowed in the country? And at the same time, he doesn�t understand why his conservative base isn�t with him on this one?

What the Democrats NEVER seem to understand is that government doesn�t create jobs, it kills them. Entrepreneurs and businessmen create jobs. On the other hand, government policies wrapped in bureaucratic red tape and high taxation cause many would-be job creators to just say, �the hell with it.� The best way for politicians to help create jobs is to get out of the way and let people like T.J. Rogers, CEO of Cypress Semiconductors, do his thing. In a recent interview, Rodgers decried the anti-business climate in his home state out on the Left Coast. �The killer factor in California for a manufacturer to create, say, a thousand blue-collar jobs is a hostile government that doesn�t want you there and demonstrates it in a thousand ways, through bureaucrats and regulations,� the executive told Declan McCullagh of CNET News. It�s even worse at the federal level. And the Democrats wonder why more and more jobs are moving overseas? FAMOUS LAST WORDS �With supporters like John McCain, President Bush can�t afford many enemies.� - Former senior adviser to President Reagan Lyn Nofziger, 8/6/04 THE GOLDWATER DOCTRINE �I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution, or that have failed in their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is 'needed' before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents' interests, I shall reply that I was informed their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can.� - Barry Goldwater, �The Conscience of a Conservative� ************************* Published by Citizen Outreach Chuck Muth Editor/Publisher 611 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE, #439 Washington, DC 20003-4303 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Citizen Outreach is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public policy organization and does not endorse candidates or lobby for specific legislation.
