Now, even the Republicans hate President Bush! This is Ann Coulter's
recent column.

NO DRUG SMUGGLER LEFT BEHIND!
June 13, 2007

President Bush was so buoyed by the warm reception he was given in
Albania that he immediately gave all 3 million Albanians American
citizenship, provided they learn Spanish. The offer was withdrawn when
Bush found out most Albanians haven't broken any U.S. laws.

Bush keeps claiming he's dying to enforce the border, but he just can't
do it unless we immediately grant amnesty to 12 million illegal aliens.
I wonder if that worked on Laura Bush:

Laura: George, it's time you quit drinking.
George: OK, honey, let's discuss it over cocktails.

How about Bush enforce the border and then we'll discuss his amnesty
plan?

He assures us that granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants
already here won't inspire millions more to run across the border
because ... he's going to put infrared lights at the border!

Well, that's a relief. What precisely will infrared lights do again?
This is worse than those fake cameras they sell at hardware stores to
make it look like you have cameras outside your house. We still need
something or someone - say, a wall or a Border Patrol agent - to stop
the Mexicans illegally crossing the border as we watch them on the
infrared cameras.

Bush won't build a wall and he keeps prosecuting law enforcement
officers who stop illegal border crossers. But trust him: He'll get
right on that border enforcement business as soon as we grant amnesty to
12 million illegal aliens.

Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean are normally the sort of
Mexican-Americans Bush would tear up at while promoting amnesty for
illegal aliens. Both served in the military and are taxpaying,
law-abiding citizens. They've been risking their lives as Border Patrol
agents for years.

Ramos was nominated for Border Patrol Agent of the Year in 2005. His
nomination received a major setback when the Bush administration decided
to put him in prison instead. Ramos and Compean are now serving more
than 10 years apiece in solitary confinement for chasing a drug-running
illegal alien back to Mexico.

Bush's pal, U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, gave immunity to a Mexican drug
dealer hauling a million dollars worth of drugs across the border so
that the drug dealer could testify against two Border Patrol agents who
shot him in the buttocks.

The border patrol agents were presumed guilty of an unlawful shooting
because they neglected to fill out the proper paperwork. For busting a
cap in the butt of a drug courier crossing the border illegally - who
was so mortally wounded that he proceeded to scamper back to Mexico -
they were supposed to spend five hours filling out paperwork. This is
what the Bush administration means when it talks about a "cover-up." As
U.S. prosecutor Debra Kanof said, "You have to report any discharge of a
firearm."

Intriguingly, Kanof also says: "The Border Patrol pursuit policy
prohibits the pursuit of someone." (Hence, the oft-heard warning of the
border agent in hot pursuit, "Stop or I'll ... do absolutely nothing!")
Can we apply this rule to meter maids and tax collectors? At least now
border agents will be able to watch the illegal aliens they can't pursue
on infrared cameras!

But wait - that's not all! The Border Patrol agents also exceeded the
speed limit. "In order to exceed the speed limit," Kanof said, "you have
to get supervisor approval, and they did not." It's just so hard to fill
out a written request to exceed the speed limit when you're off-roading
at 65 mph. There's a whispering campaign suggesting that Ramos and
Compean failed to use their turn signal.

As I understand it, you're also supposed to not cross the border
illegally from Mexico with a van full of drugs. But the Bush
administration has no interest in enforcing those laws. Ninety-eight
percent of illegal aliens captured crossing the border illegally are not
prosecuted. Those drugs are doing the job American drugs just won't do!

The Bush administration pulls out the big guns only for serious
violations like a Border Patrol officer not filling out paperwork.

In addition to giving the illegal alien drug smuggler full immunity to
testify against U.S. Border Patrol agents, the government gave him
taxpayer-funded medical care for his buttocks wound, an unconditional
border-crossing card, the right to sue the U.S. for "civil rights"
violations, and a GAP gift card. The drug runner is also on the
short-list to replace Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

He's now suing the U.S. for $5 million, but the Bush administration is
hoping to bargain him down to $10 million.

That border-crossing card came in handy when the winged illegal alien
brought in another load of drugs a short eight months later - for which
he has still not been charged, nearly two years later. Who does he think
he is? Rep. William Jefferson?

Bush's pal Sutton keeps defending his decision to prosecute Border
Patrol agents for paperwork violations, rather than an illegal alien for
drug trafficking, on the grounds that the drug dealer has not been
charged with any crimes. Let's see, whose job is it to charge that
Mexican drug runner with a crime? Why, I believe that would be Johnny
Sutton!

Maybe Sutton was too busy prosecuting another Mexican-American law
enforcement officer for trying to stop illegal aliens from crossing our
border. Deputy Sheriff Gilmer Hernandez shot at the tires of a van full
of illegal aliens, inadvertently wounding one of the aliens. Sutton
prosecuted Hernandez. The government proceeded to give the illegal
aliens green cards and $100,000 each.

I didn't realize "living in the shadows" meant in the shadows of palm
trees around the pools at taxpayer-funded houses.

Illegal aliens might want to rethink Bush's amnesty plan. The only
Hispanics Bush seems to prosecute are the ones who are law-abiding U.S.
citizens.
