For Immediate Release
Press Briefing by Ari Fleischer
[ ... ]
Q Ari, page one of The Washington Times reports our new
ambassador to Mexico, Tony Garza, announcing in Mexico City that the
Bush administration wants to give amnesty to thousands of illegal
Mexican aliens who are now in the United States. And my question is,
why does the President so encourage law-breaking by Mexicans, and
Haitians, who have not received such amnesty that I'm aware of, as well
as some of the 911 terrorists? And wouldn't it be a good idea to
recruit, train and deputize the Citizens Border Patrol Militia of
Arizona, the American Border Patrol of California, and the Texas Ranch
Rescue? (Laughter.) There's three of them out there, Ari. And we
-- they still come across the border by the thousands.
MR. FLEISCHER: Okay, I think I have your question, Mr.
Kinsolving. One, I don't think you've accurately characterized what
Mr. Garza has said. But in terms of --
Q I was just quoting.
MR. FLEISCHER: But in terms of what the President has said, the
President believes that immigrants enrich our culture and make America
a better and stronger country.
Q Illegal --
MR. FLEISCHER: And he wants to make certain that immigration is
done the right way, that it is done legally. And we look forward to
continuing to work with Mexico on this important topic.
Go ahead.
