From President Bush's remarks today:
Let me just make something clear to the American people. If there was any doubt in my mind, or people in my administration's mind that our ports would be less secure and the American people endangered, this deal wouldn't go forward.... Our duty is to protect America, and we will protect America.
In other words, trust me. Can you explain why I should trust President Bush one part of our Nation's security, our ports, when he is a complete sellout to business interests on the border issue?
It all means what you mean a sell out. I understand the business concerns. I also understand we need these Mexicans working here. I cant imagine what would happen in Texas if all the illegals would disappear. On the other hand I dont want terrorist comming over the border and I dont want people living here forever without becoming citizens and becoming inculturated into America. The border issue is a tough one because no can talk about it rationally and compromise on it. However as to Middle Eastern terrorism and other aspects of National Security I think he has been quite good. The problem is Al Quadia cannot controll how business is run and our relations with other countries financial or otherwize. To do so would be a victory for them in itself. Again I am not sure why Bush is suddenally getting hammered on a problem no President has been able to get a hold on either
