I guess it's time to restate the obvious.

President Bush still doesn't get it.

Or worse, he gets it and continues to deliberately deceive the American people.

We do not need nor desire a "comprehensive immigration reform plan" – at least as he envisions it.

Bush is trying to extort the American people by promising to protect the border with still inadequate measures only if we accept the illegal presence of 15 million aliens already here and many, many millions more in the future.

The American people must continue to reject this shakedown.

We cannot be held hostage by Bush's continuing irresponsible, reckless refusal to enforce the existing laws. He and his predecessors in the White House created this problem. He has no moral authority to tell us we must now live with the disasters he enabled or face even worse crises in the future.

The very survival of our nation is at stake.

That is, in essence, what he is trying to sell us. Just say no.

The only reason Bush has even reached the stage at which he is admitting it's time to stop the invasion of our country is because the political stakes have been raised. The American people are finally being heard in this election year. Bush is trying to avert disaster at the polls by spinning this issue once again.

If you find a neighbor bleeding, what do you do?

You do everything in your power to stop the bleeding. You don't first devise a comprehensive plan that will result in much more bleeding in the future.

It makes no sense, but that's what Bush is suggesting with his border and immigration plan.

We're years late in stopping the bleeding – the systematic invasion of our country that continues even today. Bush's plan to deal with that bleeding is still wholly inadequate, yet before he will implement even that, he insists we adopt his "comprehensive plan" that will actually result in much more bleeding in the future.

What do I mean?

His plan – or should we call it the U.S. Senate's plan – would permit up to 193 million new legal immigrants in the next 20 years. In effect, it's all a shell game. It's just legalizing the illegal to eliminate the problem.

We don't eliminate our murder problem in America by legalizing murder.

Nor should we pardon immigration law-breaking by retroactively changing the rules.

Bush is perfectly willing to change the character of this nation without a debate.

Bush is perfectly willing to risk the security of this nation by holding Americans hostage and continuing to refuse to enforce the laws of the land unless we pardon his own illegal actions of previous non-enforcement.

Bush is perfectly willing to malign those of us whose only offense is expecting the duly enacted laws of the land to be enforced.

It's time to end the charade.

We've got Washington's attention on this issue more than ever before. Officials are running scared and trying desperately to posture themselves as defenders of America.

Now is not the time to compromise, to roll over, to accept Bush's gesture, to fall for the Senate's fake-out.

Now is the time to stand strong – for principle, for the law, for the will of the people and for the security of the USA.

There must be no discussion of amnesty or pardons. There must be no discussion of accommodations with illegal aliens already here. There must be no "comprehensive plans" made that include anything less than full enforcement of the laws.

The reason we don't do those things is simply because they exacerbate the problem. Every time George Bush opens his mouth, more foreigners make plans to get in on the action here in the United States.

Stop the bleeding. Then we'll talk.
