We allowed the illegals to stay here too long. We allowed them to put down roots, and now we are seeing the consequences of years of government inaction.

This is so wrong that it makes me ill, but it is the result of our country's open border policy -- Not just our politicians, but our own citizens. They would not have come here -- and stayed -- if communities and corporations did not welcome them. We hear of cases across the country where our own local law enforcement refuses to deport any illegals they happen upon. And they are not allowed by many government officials to target illegals (NY, for example).

This is not the fault of any one administration -- the fault lies with our society as a whole, that has accepted illegals for too many years.

Never mind that the VAST majority of Americans have CONSISTENTLY said that they are against illegal immigration in every poll ever taken on the subject.

This is not the fault of any one administration --

I get it now. If this bill manages to reach Bush's desk and he signs it's not his fault. It's OUR FAULT! It's our fault because we elected him even though we don't what illegal immigration or seek to encourage it. Do I have you right? No wait you indicated that most Americans want open borders yet somehow this does not correspond to what they say to pollsters. This is getting confusing.

In any event according to you the buck on this somehow never reaches Bush's desk even though he is president and in charge of protecting our borders. Indeed, it's still laying on some past administration's desk and, of course, everyone does it. Where have I heard that before?

Anyway it's our fault for voting for these Open Border politicians to begin with. So, let's let them off the hook and beat ourselves up for electing them because even though we don't want/want illegal immigrantion we keep on electing those who do.

Oh and remember to Vote for Bush! It's not his fault he does what he does, It's ours! What a great campaign slogan.
