But this answer: "BUSH: No. We’re gonna use the Border Patrol and beef it up and make it - give it better technologies and better equipment to do its job." is really not too bad if he'd follow through. I'm not convinced the military has to be there --- I could see the military on certain parts of the border where it's become quite dangerous. There are other practical methods --- like making those bringing in illegals pay for the whole costs of their illegals --- kind of "you want them, you pay for them" especially their health care.
I agree with everything you say. It's just the arrogance of Bush on this issue really ticks me off. He may be coming around "but everything he ever let go of had claw marks all over it". He really can't bring himself to see that this policy of inviting illegals into this country is doing more harm than good. I am truly fearful of what he will do when he is elected for the second term. Will he continue to come around or say "What's it to them? They don't matter."?
