Dane, I think you are right on both counts. In my own assessments and evaluations, there's something larger going on. Can't put my finger on it quite yet. President Bush is no fool, we know that... so I'm watching his policies and statements very closely. And as a member of the won-but-stolen-CA-Prop-187 (illegal immigration reform), I've learned much. Some conservatives are arguing that the Bush Administration is doing very little wr to illegal immigration. I disagree. President Bush promised to track the terrorists, no matter where they reside, and how they got to where they reside.
So you're basically saying you blindly trust that he will do something even though all the evidence points to the opposite.
Nice vaugeries, here in the real world, how is Super Bush tracking terrorists if he's made no way of knowing who is a Mexican sneaking over the border for the spoils of the US, and who is an Arab pretending to be a Mexican?
