They're listening...they just don't have an answer.
I attended the Homeland Security Townhall Meeting in San Diego last week. Did you see it...it was on C-SPAN. Secretary Tom Ridge was the guest speaker. All participants were allowed to write a question down and submit it. The questions were then hand-picked and only then were they asked of Ridge. I wanted to ask him what, if anything, is being done to protect our borders from infiltration from the south. Not only did I not get to ask my question, but no one even touched the subject. I find it impossible to believe an issue that important to the people of San Diego didn't come up. In fact, I know it did because I wrote it down.
Ridge, along with the rest of the Bush Administration doesn't want to touch it because they know they've failed along those lines. Can't upset the Latino population with talk about protecting our borders, ya know.
Just concerned about the Southern border, eh?
