Well said Fred! I am beyond pissed at him right now. I have already sent messages to my senators and the white house and will continue to do so until these idiots wake up and take notice of what WE the people want!

Can you post this please??? We bought portions of the southwest from Mexico and also beat them in a war for the rest. They signed a peace treaty which ceded the southwest to us and we bought a strip closer to the border for building a railroad track through. But as for the southwest portion of the United States, I quote from the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo signed by the Mexican government and by the President of the United States after the Senate ratified it. To wit (all emphasis is mine):

[The boundary line between the two Republics shall commence in the Gulf of Mexico, three leagues from land, opposite the mouth of the Rio Grande, otherwise called Rio Bravo del Norte, or Opposite the mouth of its deepest branch, if it should have more than one branch emptying directly into the sea; from thence up the middle of that river, following the deepest channel, where it has more than one, to the point where it strikes the southern boundary of New Mexico; thence, westwardly, along the whole southern boundary of New Mexico (which runs north of the town called Paso) to its western termination; thence, northward, along the western line of New Mexico, until it intersects the first branch of the river Gila; (or if it should not intersect any branch of that river, then to the point on the said line nearest to such branch, and thence in a direct line to the same); thence down the middle of the said branch and of the said river, until it empties into the Rio Colorado; thence across the Rio Colorado, following the division line between Upper and Lower California, to the Pacific Ocean.

The southern and western limits of New Mexico, mentioned in the article, are those laid down in the map entitled "Map of the United Mexican States, as organized and defined by various acts of the Congress of said republic, and constructed according to the best authorities. Revised edition. Published at New York, in 1847, by J. Disturnell," of which map a copy is added to this treaty, bearing the signatures and seals of the undersigned Plenipotentiaries,. And, in order to preclude all difficulty in tracing upon the ground the limit separating Upper from Lower California, it is agreed that the said limit shall consist of a straight line drawn from the middle of the Rio Gila, where it unites with the Colorado, to a point on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, distant one marine league due south of the southernmost point of the port of San Diego, according to the plan of said port made in the year 1782 by Don Juan Pantoja, second sailing-master of the Spanish fleet, and published at Madrid in the year 1802, in the atlas to the voyage of the schooners Sutil and Mexicana; of which plan a copy is hereunto added, signed and sealed by the respective Plenipotentiaries.

In order to designate the boundary line with due precision, upon authoritative maps, and to establish upon the ground land-marks which shall show the limits of both republics, as described in the present article, the two Governments shall each appoint a commissioner and a surveyor, who, before the expiration of one year from the date of the exchange of ratifications of this treaty, shall meet at the port of San Diego, and proceed to run and mark the said boundary in its whole course to the mouth of the Rio Bravo del Norte. They shall keep journals and make out plans of their operations; and the result agreed upon by them shall be deemed a part of this treaty, and shall have the same force as if it were inserted therein. The two Governments will amicably agree regarding what may be necessary to these persons, and also as to their respective escorts, should such be necessary.

The boundary line established by this article shall be religiously respected by each of the two republics, and no change shall ever be made therein, except by the express and free consent of both nations, lawfully given by the General Government of each, in conformity with its own constitution.

Pretty straight forward stuff really. Frankly, if anything the Mexicans should be fortunate that we did not annex their entire country. But if Bush said what you claim, this may well explain at least part of why he is so lax on the whole border issue.

President George W. Bush says, “I’ll see you at the bill signing,” referring to the McCain-Kennedy immigration bill. Conservative Common Man describes the scene tomorrow when Bush addresses the Republicans (from AP News.) (caution, satire alert) It …

I think like another two term president we remember very well, the prestige presented to one in his position has gone to his head and he forgets just who put him where he is to begin with. And like I said on my blog, I think this past couple of weeks congress has begun to get the message, they represent US, WE are their ‘employer’ and they answer to us or they lose their jobs. It’s too bad this isn’t George Bush’s first term, he’d be getting the message loud and clear as well.. unfortunately it isn’t and the only thing that is going to happen if he pursues this bill is we’ll get skewered and he will go down in history as the next best thing to that joke that is former POTUS Jimmy Carter.

Keep up the fight everyone!
