I agree. And I did put myself in Mexico's shoes to gain another perspective. Mexico has been in chaos (outside the designated "tourist" havens) for many years. In times past, Mexico could count upon America in helping Mexico capture notorious criminals, PLUS dealing with those using Mexico enroute from South America. American Liberals destroyed that process, under and during the Clinton Administration.

I have been fighting against illegal immigration policies for many years.

However, what's the difference between Liberals screaming that 911 is Bush's fault; and conservatives screaming that illegal immigration is Bush's fault? Not a whole darned lot it most often, appears to me...

Flame Away, call me a Rino! Have at IT! Go for the bomb. But answer the question, honestly.

President Bush was a mere 9 months into office when 9-11 happened. 3,000 innocents were murdered. That does indeed appear to be #1 to address on the crisis scale, I would think. The INS and INS processes are utterly and absolutely corrupted by liberal policies. Bush should have simply ordered our military to "close the borders" and "shoot at will"? I've read some excellent proposals for remedying the "illegal immigrant" policies. But after 15 hard years of liberals opening all portals to our country to criminals, illegal immigrants, and terrorists... somehow President Bush is supposed to just wave a magic wand, and have the borders be sealed, and the INS totally cleansed? Wrongo! Do a freerepublic search on "illegal immigrants" -- and what you will find are MAJOR PROBLEMS at DMVs all across the nation. So, should Bush have proposed a litmus test for anyone working at the DMV's? Heck.. President Bush can't even get honest judges appointed to oversee constitutional processes -- because liberals have so utterly corrupted the system via the MSM.

The problem for Mexico --- it's so thoroughly corrupt and most of it's officials and politicians are only on the take ---- many are on the powerful drug cartel's payroll. I don't think keeping that government propped up is ultimately going to benefit -- them or us. Right now that government wants to prevent revolution -- and their own forced exile which cuts them off from the money supply -- by our open borders. Open borders isn't helping the situation in Mexico at all because they don't get them to address the real problems in their form of government and their culture. A country that wealthy in natural resources should not have the level of poverty that exists --- the only way for an average Mexican to make it -- is to leave the country and get to the USA --- that needs to stop.
