You have less than no idea what has been and is being talked about behind the scenes, or even what IS out in the open. If you read more, you'd know that the president has been working on the border problem and that he actually is favoring Coryn-Kyl proposition.
You like to foam at the mouth, go off 1/2 cocked, and accuse others of things they are not "guilty" of.
There are very valid reasons why FORTRESS AMERICA will not only not work, but never be implemented. I have posted a bit about what I think would work, but I guess you've missed it or just ignored it, since it wasn't a cookie cutter replica of your own desires.
I've never made any excuses; just stated facts; something apparently foreign to you. ;^)
Bush hasn't said he is favoring the Cornyn-Kyl bill. Where did you hear that he was? I highly doubt he will favor it unless there are significant changes to it. Bush doesn't want to back the McCain-Kennedy bill because he knows most republicans won't support it. Instead I think he will try to get significant changes made in the Cornyn-Kyl bill that will make it useless. There is no way Bush will support the Cornyn-Kyl bill as it is. Do you seriously believe he will?
Bush is so afraid of offending Latino voters he won't seriously do anything to stop illegal immigration. He's looking for a bill that will be backed by business groups and immigrant advocates. Any bill that gets that kind of support will be worthless to this nation and probably cause more harm. Bush and other Republicans are afraid to get tough on illegal immigration because many of the businesses who donate to the RNC are against it. Democrats are the same but you would expect that kind of irresponsibility from them.
