I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

We can't just remove people from the country, says Bush on immigration

Crossposted from Right Truth, written by Debbie

I watched President Bush and his photo-op on the southern border today. I was drop-jawed at his comment, "... we can't just remove people from the country". No one is suggesting that tomorrow we try to deport somewhere between 12 and 20 million illegal aliens to their native country. But to say we 'can't remove' people from this country is just stupid. We do it every day, by the bus load and also by the plane load, at a cost of $600.00 per individual (Fox News Channel).

Be sure, we can remove anybody we want from this country if they break our laws. Those of us who simply want to enforce the laws we already have and pass a border security bill, are sometimes referred to as racist, like some have called Lou Dobbs.

Immigration is not a 'party-line' debate. Democrats and Republicans are siding against other Democrats and Republicans on many of the issues, while some Hispanic Americans want to make immigration easier and others want to deport unauthorized immigrants.

Bush: Too Little - Too Late

Bush's response to our border issue is too little, too late. Today's visit down to the borders is just a distraction from the fact he, as Presidents past allowed our borders to be used as a revolving door for illegal immigrants, the MS-13 gang, which has ties to Al-Qaida and many more criminals that should never have been
allowed to enter into the United States. ...

As things stand now with our border issues, with that back door having been left open for much too long we face yet another September 11 style catastrophe. Will it happen soon, God only knows, but it will happen and Bush and the previous Presidents, including our current political slime will have blood on their hands. Why? Just for a vote and serving ones own political aspirations over the wishes and will of the people - over the greater good for our nation's security. All for their own day of glory at the poll boxes. Too little - too late. (Read it all at Freedom Watch)
