You are still acting as if Bush is the real enemy.

What do you think Kerry would do about illegal immigration?

Nothing...You're right, they are the same

"You're right, they are the same"

I did NOT even the vaguest sens imply Bush and Kerry are the same -- for anyone to say that, means they have a serious problem with reality.

And I just posted some info on another thread -- Bush is doing a great deal to stop illegal immigration, for which the so-called conservatives aren't giving him any credit, because their real issue is NOT illegal immigration, but to bash Bush.

Bush budget adds hundreds of immigration enforcement jobs

The budget would add staff to the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's detention and removals branch, which expels illegal aliens from the United States. The unit extradited 142,008 aliens in fiscal 2003, but faces a daunting backlog of immigration cases. Roughly 400,000 aliens have fled after receiving a final order of deportation from an immigration judge.

The Bush budget would fund 30 new fugitive operations teams, which are dedicated solely to apprehending and deporting alien absconders. ICE currently has 18 such teams. It also would provide 269 new immigration enforcement agents for the institutional removal program, where criminal aliens in federal and state prisons are released into ICE custody. Because of staffing shortfalls, ICE now taps its criminal investigators to help staff this program.
