"How less urgent of a priority was control of the borders prior to September the 11th, 2001?" See post # 19
Bush has a proposal and you are too closed minded to even see if it works, the fear mongering of the left has robbed you of commonsense... that is too bad.
My memory is getting pretty bad but, when did Proposition #187 pass? Incidentally, by a majority.
I see that you like to politicize an argument too. Well, the right has done some it fair share of both fear mongering and robbery. Remember Republicans control your purse-strings. As for PROPOSALS, digging yourself out of a hole cannot be considered advancement on immigration policy. Maybe for you it's all about the PARTY? You can fall on a sword for this but to me, on all angles, just plain rhetoric.
