Best part of a strong speech.

I thought the speach was not as strong as his previous SOU addresses. However, the results of Bush's actions over the last couple of years spoke so loudly that they FORCED the rats to stand and applaud on issues the violently disagree with.

Not as strong as previous speeches because of the improvement in the world's circumstances, and the lack of the need for such a speech.

And the improvement in the world's circumstances are directly due to the fact that he did what he SAID he would do in his previous SOTU speeches......

People who assume that the President is sanctioning the invasion of our borders are not aware of the difficulty or the immense cost of "sealing" the border.

It's easy to make the claim, but those who look realistically at what is involved quickly see the difficulty of the task.

I am confident the President is aware of the folly of granting amnesty which he indicated in his speech. He is not one to go back on his word, especially when he is aware of the seriousness of doing so.

I suspect that somebody will come up with a better plan on how to deal with all the illegals already here and still have accountability over the employers who enable the illegals. If employers are held severely accountable for hiring illegals and heavy penalties are enforced, the blame falls on the root of the problem.

We cannot fault the illegals themselves other than a few actual criminals, for wanting to find a way to improve their lives. The "Coyotes" who smuggle the people in here are the ones exploiting the situation and should be locked away as combatants in the War on Terror. Start clamping down on the source of the problem and the flow of people will diminish drastically.
