A crowd that firmly beleives its better to utilize the limited resouces of the INS to do back ground checks on perhaps MILLIONS of Latino immigrants then to focus those limited resouces on screening Arabs and Muslims.

Funny how the INS still can't do both, in spite of federal spending increasing by 23% since 2001. Why is it we have plenty enough money to explode spending in every area except immigration and border control?

Stranger is the argument that while we lack the resources and "cannot set up border guard towers every 500 feet" we will have the resources to do background checks and follow up on perhaps millions of "guest" workers.

I am not saying we should set up such towers but how can a GOPer argue they cannot increase the security of the borders while at the same time argue to increase the resources to monitor people once they have reached base and tagged in as "safe"!

In this case secruing our borders does not garner votes while "monitoring" those that made it past our security does.

I am not even touching on the it’s a post 9/11 world in which we should use more not less of our INS resources to monitor unfriendlies rather than cheap labor.


Its up to us to push the party right.
