Someone please tell me why he is doing this. This makes no sense, and is a betrayal of the American citizen and taxpayer.
I don't know, Mamzelle. But I do know that it's a big issue for him. Had 9/11 not occurred, I'm sure he would have tried pushing something similar though at that time.
Another thing that concerns me are the borders. The US had/has every right in the world to protect its borders - especially after being hit 9/11, but Bush hasn't tightened down on them. A hundred terrorists a day could come across the border, and we would just think they were illegals... And personally I think that's the reason Bush hasn't tightened down on the borders -- He doesn't want to impede the flow of illegals into the US... Which to me means he is compromising the security of the U.S. in order to allow illegals into the country.
