Agreed. I know this has probably been said a thousand times, but if our country is so HATED..why are we the only one that people from other countries want to flock to? I don't see anyone sneaking across the border into France.
Some of those who are creeping in do so in search of a better life. Others have more of a dark agenda.
I'm just a small town country girl from Ohio, so obviously I don't have the answers. I just know that President Bush has more answers than questions where terrorism is concerned, as opposed to Kerry, doesn't seem to have squat.
It's rather a Catch 22 situation for our president. Does one seal off our borders completely? Try getting re-elected if you go that route. And then, we're back were we started almost 12 years ago.
As a small town girl from Ohio, you probably have a better beat on the issue than anyone else. :) How are the Reps doing in Ohio ??
Lisa, Both parties have no clue on the immigration issue, it's voodoo, persona non grata type thing.
This issue has been ignored by the best of them, dating back to the 60's.
How would that hurt re-election chances? The only reason Silvestre Reyes got elected to Congress is because he was the border patrol chief who put Operation Blockade and Operation Hold-the-Line into place --- he stood up to the Mexican government which obviously condemned him for those and that made him quite popular in the area along the border. Along the border, people definitely do not want the border open --- and we're talking mostly "hispanic" people.
