The media is building this up because they know the illegal immigration issue weakens Bush's base. But Kerry will do NOTHING about illegal immigration. The Mexicans affected here are NOT illegal immigrants. They are extremely short stay legal travelers. Am I now supposed to hate every policy detail affecting Mexicans who enter the U.S., even legally?

FYI, this is the Mexican media. Secondly, border crossing cards are one of the main sources we have for illegal immigrants. There are 1.6 million card-holders in Tijuana alone. Tijuana's entire population probably doesn't amount to 1.6 million. Hundreds of thousands of the Tijuana cards were used to gain entrance to the US, and, after 3 days, these people became illegals and are still living in the United States. The number is surely in the millions when you count all BCCs issued at all consulates/embassies in Mexico.

True but the issue didn't weaken Bush's base. Bush did.

Bush was on the wrong side of the issue. The media simply keeps reminding him of his bad decision.

I think that is incumbent for all conservatives to remind Bush of his bad decision.

Yes they are. The major overstayers are the short term travelers.
