Since border crossing apprehensions are down 40 percent under Bush I will take this mongering with a grain of salt.

What are you smoking? Apprehensions are down under the Bush administration because Bush quit enforcing the laws. At this time US citizens can place the blame squarely on Bush's shoulders for our failings in this farce.

My guess is that if Bush loses the coming election it will be principally do to his policy on immigration. Bush's January 9 policy is simply obscene and the US public knows it. It weakens his credibility on all other issues.

Bush no more enforces the immigration laws then Clinton did. The President does not enforce immigration law, he appoints people who will. His first appointment, Zigler, was a complete and under failure, Bonner is much better, but has to run things through Asa Hutchinson and Ridge, both idiots in my book.

No, apprehensions are down because of 9/11. Illegal aliens feared they would be thought of as terrorists. As that fear ebbs, the apprehensions will increase. 2004 will be that year.

Agreed. America is sick of paying the bills for them.
