Bush Caves - Calls Nat'l Guard to Border. Calls Minuteman "Heroes"

In a stunning reversal of policy, President George W. Bush today ordered units of the California, Arizona and Texas National Guard to seal off the border with Mexico. New Mexico units were delayed on orders of Governor Richardson. (Late reports have Richardson fleeing to Mexico.)
 
"The Minutemen have shown me the error of my ways," Bush told a hastily called news conference . "These men an women are the heart beat of America and are real heroes."

Bush said that he had also ordered the Army Corps of Engineers to begin building a permanent barrier along the U.S./Mexico border. "In these times of deficits it is silly not to use the most cost-effective means of protecting our borders." the president said.

Ah, if only it was true.

Especially that part about Richardson fleeing to Mexico. What a crackpot. Every NM person outside of Sante Fe hates him.

But Richardson can't be Hillary's veep if he flees to Mexico!

Wouldn't it be funny if Scrappleface posted a serious, truthful article today?

Stinker! I fell for it, too. I was so excited!

Illegal immigration and/or lax border security is the iceberg that could sink President Bush's Administration, if not his legacy.

Agreed, and worse than that, it will sink the GOP in 2008 if the libs play their cards right. It is theirs for the taking unless Bush starts working for the voters that put him in the White House, INSTEAD OF VINCENTE FOX.

That sounds sooooo good! If only it weren't a joke! LOL!

This could have been done a lot better, and it might have actually fooled a lot of people :-)

Every NM person outside of Sante Fe hates him.

Unfortunately not... He's got a lock on the entire north of the state.

We only wish it were true.

If only it were true.

Medical science has yet to discover a way to grow a human spine in adults....this story cannot possibly be true.
