We should have done that when the first time the Mexican army crossed our border and attacked our citizens. Clinton let them get away with it and so did Bush.
We have a hostile cesspool on our southern border. Their army attacks us inside our borders and we do nothing except kiss their ass. They sided with Saddam in the U.N. and this president ignored it. His youre either with us or against us crap is very selective. It looks like it only applies to countries that compete with his fathers business interests.
We can send our military to Liberia to take sides in a civil war that has nothing what so ever to do with our interests, or with us, but we cant protect American citizens inside our own borders from attacks from a foreign military.
But what the hell, the president is a Republican and almost as popular as Clinton was, so lets forget all this. The important thing is he can win an election and he is a Republican. Everything else is unimportant.
No, I asked what the overall approval polls for PRESIDENT BUSH were.
I think we can all agree that they consistantly run in the 70 percentile against "Illegal" Immigration and has held steady for at least a decade.
And, in my experience, polls like that are like asking if someone's against sin and in favor of motherhood--it's like asking Democrat voters how a "generic Democrat" (whom they can project their ideal candidate onto) does against Bush. In this case, the respondent can simply say that they oppose illegal immigration. That's an easy answer.
Start asking questions such as "Do you support requiring all citizens and legal residents to carry identification papers on their persons at all times, on pain of imprisonment?"
The answer to THAT question will be interesting.
