MeTheSheeple hasn't written a whole lot about the immigration debate. What a great time! (Disclosure: MrsSheeple wasn't born here, but she speaks much better English.)

So, Shrub yesterday backed a plan that may lead to amnesty for the immigrants here, possibly a ploy to get on their good side and convince 'em to become lifelong Republicans.

He's also proposing sending thousands of National Guardsmen to the border. Word is the commitment could eventually reach all three of the Guardsmen not already in Iraq, recuperating from Iraq, or who won't say bad things about the lack of federal coordination in New Orleans.

In actuality, he proposed last night as many as 6,000 troops on the border with Mexico. This is kind of funny, because last year he chopped nearly 10,000 border-patrol guards from his own budget proposal -- likely on forced austerity because of expenses like, oh, I don't know, maybe IRAQ ... where so many of the Guardsmen are. Bush also called for an increase in the number of ... border-patrol agents. Pat Paulsen could have made this funny, yes; unfortunately, Bush is trying for a different effect.

There's nothing quite like an obvious election-year ploy (a one-year commitment, no less) in the face of high levels of organization by immigrants, many of whom are here illegally.

In completely unrelated news, MeTheSheeple must turn back to WorldNetDaily, which in fact help start this utter waste of time blog. One of the latest posts backed massive deportation procedings in a highly unusual argument that must be read to be believed, albeit at the cost of stomach churning. In fact, the writer Godwin'd his own writings:

If it took the Germans less than four years to rid themselves of 6 million Jews, many of whom spoke German and were fully integrated into German society, it couldn't possibly take more than eight years to deport 12 million illegal aliens, many of whom don't speak English and are not integrated into American society.

Unfortunately, the WND nuts (not to be confused, necessarily, with the WMD nuts) often make their way into the popular media as so-called experts. For proof, just wander over to this blog's first real post.
