Not more government...different government. The rules we have now are broke. Dubya says lets fix the problem and you say what? Add soldiers to our borders? Isn't that more government?
Yes, but I think that's a lot less government than offering bribes for illegals to regularize. As I pointed out, they have little incentive to do so now so it would take a large increase in free services to get them to legalize. Otherwise they use the free clinic which I support and the emergency room which we all pay for through health insurance premiums. They also have the support of their own community.
If you really are a conservative wouldn't you support defense of the country before proposing large increases in federally sponsored human services?
