Hastert: U.S. can defend its borders like it has Iraq's

[ECH1969]

House Speaker Dennis Hastert voiced confidence Tuesday that the United States can block illegal immigrants from crossing the nation's borders even though he estimates there are up to 15 million living here already.

"I always say if we can protect Iraq's borders against Syria and, you know, Jordan, and everyplace else, Iran, we can protect our own borders," he said.

Hastert also said the "bad apples" - which he did not define - among the country's millions of illegal immigrants should be deported.

"We are serious about taking illegal aliens and moving them outside borders of our country," he said.

[stepnw1f]

What a dishonest sleazeball.... IRAQ's borders are Porous, like Hastert's integrity. The GOP will say anything to stay in power. Look at your leaders Republicans... look at them lie to your faces!

[Monkeyman]

8. Have another burger with cheese, fatso. It'll clear your head.

You're not thinking straight, are you?

[aquart]

9. Now that scares the ish out of me.

[laylah]

10. ..

:scared: The inept lowlifes can't protect squat, all they can do is blow the shat out of it/them.

[LynnTheDem]

11. ROTFLMAO!!!

And tomorrow the MFing unbelievably stupid rightwingnuts will yet again insist "foreign terra-ists" are POURING INTO IRAQ.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

rightwingnuts; the STUPIDEST MFers EVER.

[nevergiveup]

12. Can you believe

this idiot is third in line for the presidency? If you put Chimpy and Denny on "Jeopardy" they would cancel the show after the first round.

[w4rma]

13. Haha, I agree. Idiot. (nt)

[WildClarySage]

14. And here I thought we were protecting Iraqi citizens from foreign

agitators who were the real insurgents. Gosh, well... GOP, which is it???

[wickerwoman]

23. Exactly!

I thought we were in Iraq to try to lure al Qaeda there so we wouldn't have to fight them here.

Is our new immigration policy to lure illegals so we don't have to send any more jobs there?

[struggle4progress]

15. Translation: we're gonna bomb wedding parties in border states

[mom cat]

16. If we use our success in Iraq as a measure, then

can utter miserable failure on our southern border be far behind? :rofl:

[DoYouEverWonder]

17. Did anyone bother to tell Denny

that is Iraq is about the same size has Texas and we have not secured the borders there?

[IndyBob]

18. He He He

Hastert, what a mofo. Wasn't he the one who called Clinton a slime ball for the Monica thing, only later to confess to a "youthful indiscretion" that resulted in an illegitimate child? This "youthful indiscretion" occurred at age 40 +/-. Don't get me wrong, nothing against illegitimate kids, just the hypocritical asses.

His statement makes no sense to me. Does he mean we will keep the borders porous enough to allow, like in Iraq, the "war" to continues within? Is this some weird flypaper reference?

[theanarch]

19. no...that was Henry Hyde...a distinction without a difference

[Ravy]

20. Umm... Denny....

If we protected Iraq's borders, how did all those terrorists you claim to be there get there in the first place?

[radfringe]

22. and to add to your observation....

If the Iraq/Syria...ummm Jordon...errr...other borders are secure - how are weapons/wmds being smuggled in as you and GOPers often point out?

well, all I can say is that if we secure our borders like we've secured Iraq's borders, then I feel about as safe as a side of beef in a tiger's cage

[Nickster]

27. Well, let's be fair now. Most of the terra-ists are actually homegrown

products, from within the borders of Iraq. LoL.

[Ravy]

29. True that.

But the real truth is somewhere in-between, I think. The Iraq borders are not secure, there are demonstably weapons and personnel getting in to fight us. There are not as many of them (percentage wise) as Iraqis fighting us.

Denny would have us believe that the vast majority poured across the border from Jordan, Syria, and Iran to fight us, and that we have totally secured the borders there in such a way that we would be safe in the US if we did the same thing to our borders.

[GeorgeGist]

24. Hey Dennis...

is that not like expecting illegal immigrants to protect our US borders? But then they don't bomb the shit out of us before their arrival. These morans must live in an un-parallel universe to keep coming up with new nonsense to justify their existence.

[plasticsundance]

25. Cymbal crash

And the jokes keep coming ...

[Nickster]

26. HAHAHAHAHA! Denny, please meet reality, reality please meet Denny.

I know you two haven't been acquainted for quite some time, but I'd like you to start seeing each other more often. Oh Denny, Reality says that the borders in Iraq are so frigging porous, you know, that's how all the weapons and terra-ists get in, that you must be crazy or outright lying to say such things. Oh wait, Reality says that you're a Republican, guess that explains everything.....

[lonestarnot]

28. Oh boy!

[Strawman]

30. And Mexicans will love us just as much as they do in the Middle East

when some nervous 19 year old with a rifle out in the desert makes a mistake and shoots some family crossing the border.

Why should we just be fueling the kind of resentment that breeds new terrorists in Iraq when we can do it right here in our own hemisphere, right next door? What a wonderful idea, moron.

[rustydog]

31. WAIT A FRIGGIN' Minute...How can the Republicants

claim this insurgency is being carried out by Foreign fighters entering the country from NEIGHBORING countries, now claim America has successfully guarded Iraq's Boarders?????

Are these guys born with enormous balls or are they implanted like their women's fake breasts?
