Not $200 million, but $200 million per year between FY2004 through FY2007.
This is a total of $800 million.
But, this is a drop in the bucket compared to the $440 billion (of US taxpayer dollars) he threw the way of Mexican illegal aliens via Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The proof that Bush was completely complicit was that the US banks (read: Wall Street) set up kiosks in Mexican Consulates all over to explain to Mexican illegal aliens how they could participate in the US banking system once they (illegally) crossed the border.
How do we know Bush was complicit? Because he ordered the Border Patrol to stand down on interior enforcement.
Worksite arrests of illegal aliens fell some 97 percent, from 2,859 in 1999 to 159 in 2004. Investigations targeting employers of illegal immigrants fell more than 70 percent, from 7,637 in 1997 to 2,194 in 2003. Arrests on job sites fellprecipitously, from 17,554 in 1997 to 445 in 2003. Fines levied for immigration-law violations fell from 778 in 1997 to 124 in 2003. Notices of intent to fine employers fell from 865 in 1997 to just 3 in 2004.
Why anyone continues to defend Duh-bya is beyond me. The only possible explanation is they went to sleep after pulling the voting lever in both 2000 and 2004.
Thanks, Dan. Been a while. Good to see you're still around with the truth.
An open-borders, NWO guy who chose to die on the political hill of amnesty.
I knew he was about to do something along those lines when he said he’d earned political capital and was going to spend some of it.
And spend it he did. Like a drunken sailor.
No offense to drunken sailors.
