No confidence
As I was driving home last week, National Public Radio acquainted me with the news that several senators had reached agreement on legislation that would move the 12 million to 20-plus million illegal aliens into citizenship. That 12 million to 20 million becomes 60 million to 120 million in one generation. Think the environment is stressed now?
This government demands a vote of no-confidence and immediate ouster.

Yeah, let us know how that goes, Mike.
Yawn.
Posted by Tim on May 22, 2007 06:36 AMImmigration is a very complex issue facing Western Europe and the United States and there is really no one solution.
Certainly improved conditions in the countries of origin would slow the influx of immigrants from Central America (to the United States); North Africa (to France); South-Central Asia (to England) and Western Asia (to Germany).
People, however, who espouse some environmental argument against immigration simply do not understand environmentalism. If someone does not cross a border that does not mean they cease to exist. It simply means they exist somewhere else. They will still require clean air, water and food.
There are over 6 Billion people on the planet Earth. Immigration is not an environmental issue. It is many things; a social issue, a labor issue, a political issue an ethnic issue and to some a race issue. It is not an environmental issue.

There are many things enviable about a parliamentary system. No-confidence votes would be very beneficial in this country.
We, however, do not live in a parliamentary system.

Give me a reason to trust you.
Posted by truthy on May 22, 2007 08:39 AMA no confidence vote afflicts George Bush; however, it has no affect on him; he still has a high approval rating of 28% which astonishes that so may Repubs still embrace him called the "worst of the worst" by Peter Boyles and echoed by 72% of Americans and perhaps 100% of the illegal immigrants.
Peter Boyles should be given Profiles in courage; he is quite vocal with what I have said: Is America being assisted in her suicide by both parties and unlike Jesus Christ the transmogrified Jew who opted for suicide, America is not a happy camper over the prospect. Me, your friendly deicide happy over the lightning bolt that struck the counterfeit statue of the transmogrified Jew that looks like a blue-eye Norweigen on Mother Cabrini Shrine.

Do really think you come of as anything other than a weirdo with that "me your friendly deicide crap? Do you think that makes you sound mysterious? You need to up those meds son.

While I think that George Bush is the worst president in our history, the fact remains there is no such thing as a "No Confidence" vote in our system of government.
Posted by Dave II on May 22, 2007 12:59 PMDave II You say.."Immigration is not an environmental issue"
Our fragile National Monuments, National Wildlife Refuges, National Parks, and National Forests along the U.S. southern border are being annihilated - not by natural forces or by unwitting tourists, but instead by an overwhelming number of illegal aliens (up to 300,000 in Oregon Pipe National Monument alone in recent years).... who rampage through and destroy these supposedly protected areas. Our beautiful and pristine areas, set aside by congress to preserve for future generations, are quickly being turned into National SACRIFICE Areas.
The Coronado National forest in Sourthern Arizona sits along 60 miles of the U.S. Mexico Border. It has become one of the most popular drug smuggling routes in the southwest, with smugglers moving on foot across the forest, typically carring homemade backpacks filled with 50+ pounds of Marijuana.
The Coronado National Forest has become strewn with literally THOUSANDS of trails and footpaths worn into the land by the flow of illegal aliens Often illegals leave their campfires burning, starting forest fires. Over 60,000 acres of the Coronado have burned in recent years, much of it is the result of fires started by illegal aliens, according to the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus.
So what are the politically correct media saying about this disaster? Practically nothing at all!
What are national environmental organizations doing about this? Absolutely nothing! Even the Sierra Club has hobbled itself by an outrageous neutrality policy on the consequences of mass immigration. In the meantime our border monuments, forests, and wildlife areas of Arizona are being destroyed!
