A big Tancredo BTTT...
" He estimated it would cost about $8 million to double the border patrol and several billion dollars for the technology."
Sorry, Mr. Tancredo, we're sending $135 Million to the PLO, per the state of the union address. Tom Ridge already told you that they weren't even going to fund the border agents required in the Intelligence bill.
The only man talking sense on this issue.
You know, if the other 70-some-odd members of that Immigration Reform Caucus made the kind of noise Tancredo does Bush wouldn't utter a whisper of his amnesty insanity.
The Border Patrol is re-writing the national pursuit policy. The Border Patrol's old pursuit policy was a glaring example of political correctness run amok and the lack of intestinal fortitude needed to enforce immigration law. Hopefully the new policy will mirror ICE's pursuit policy which includes highspeed pursuits, ramming and shooting fleeing felons. Perhaps the Bush administration is starting do some good on illegal immigration.
That will not help much.
What is needed is a president to lead a revolution in the laws and courts stripping the welfare benefits, the citizenship of those born here from illegal aliens, voiding motor-voter laws, matricula cards, free health care and school care, etc.
Unless that is done, more border agents will not help.
If need be, hold impeachmnet hearings against Bush for failing to protect and defend our borders.
