Yes, instead, let's give him a free pass when he fails to do something....you know, since he has an (R) by his name, he's beyond criticism!

"An undisclosed number of U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers have voluntarily been in Iraq since at least August teaching members of the Iraqi Department of Border Enforcement how to secure the frontierlands."

Now all they need to do is teach the Iraqi Leaders to have the political will to enforce the Border Regulations. Once they've figured out how to do that they should come back to the US and give some of our leaders the same lessons.

"Yeepee, let us start the Bash Bush Orgy."

Why, does he deserve to be bashed on this score - Do ANY of our leaders deserve to be bashed on this score? If not, then I guess the Immigration situation is OK right? If they do deserve it, why?

It is a convoluted mess, isn't it? Illegals, and God knows what else are pouring across our borders in obscene numbers, yet our skimpy border patrol is over there??? A bit of a paradox. I hope the ground-swell is building in this country to the point that Washington starts defending OUR borders...

It shows ya how phony these pols are. GW either changes his stripes on this issue or The Hildabeast steals the issue & wins the election. It's as simple as that.

We have the best border patrol agents in the world. The problem is with out politicians who won't let them enforce the law.

This catch and release is the most flawed policy our country has and if the Republicans won't pick up the issue and run with it...they will just hand the 2008 presidency to Hillary Clinton!!!

This poll refers to an ID # given by the IRS for Federal tax purposes only. At least 5 states are accepting this ID card to give social services, registering to vote, even sell property to Illegal Aliens. Financing institutions love it and make excuses that this should be legal.

Do you believe state governments should allow illegal aliens to use a federal identification number to obtain rights intended for U.S. citizens?

Yes 6% 156 votes

No 94% 2650 votes

Total: 2806 votes

"Teaching the Iraqis to SECURE their borders? HAHA......."

And in a related story, we're also helping the Iraqis safeguard against voter fraud.

On the bright side, perhaps she'll force the GOP take it up.

Lets hope so...and lets hope that the Republicans don't start talking about another amnesty.

I know they say it's a work program, but after the illegal's work permit expires...what makes President Bush think they'll go home. Won't the illegals just go back to being illegal aliens again???

You may be right. At the same time, this whole "silence" on the part of the administration may be a deeply calculated plan, to not slam into the situation, but to do some maneuvering which will take some time, but accomplish the control we need...anybody's guess at this point, but I still cannot believe that GWB (et al) are neutral on this issue....
