I love this president, but I desperately wish that he would get as tough on all of these illegals, as he was on the Taliban and Saddam's rotten regime!

Furthermore, these Committees of Vigilance have always formed when a government has failed in the function of enforcing specific laws. I'm hardly a "close the borders" enthusiast, but that does appear to be the case here, and it is that, and not any loose application of terminology, that ought to concern the Bush administration.
Gee Dubya, and a bunch of Freepers for that matter, are DEAD WRONG on this issue.
I am afraid it will take another terrorist attack, one clearly through our southern border, to make them see the light.
Great article except for the highlighted portion (I haven't figured out how to draw a line through items yet)which needs to be removed. IMHO
Uh, what highlighted portion?
Never mind, I was a little slow...
I agree about a x-border terrorist attack. I am very urinated at the president now on illegal immigration, but it will be as to nothing compared to how I would feel if a terrorist incident occurs due to his border security neglect.

GREAT article! Every sentence a truism!
OK, I just don't understand. I was expecting President Bush to support measures to protect us from terrorists. It seems like a no-brainer that we would want to prevent illegal aliens from entering the United States from Mexico. I'm not afraid of Mexicans seeking U.S. citizenship--I'm afraid of terrorists who will pretend to be Mexicans seeking U.S. citizenship. How can we distinguish one from the other if we don't have control of our borders?
I just don't understand President Bush's apparent nonchalance in this situation. He is from Texas. Isn't there a strong awareness of the problem and concern about it in Texas? Why does he appear to be so distanced from this issue?
That's just because they are a handful of people. If there were more, many more, they would be the reason for some urgent action on the part of Gov't to crack down on this kind of immigration.

I have been saying this for a long time now. According to the DC administration, it's not a matter of "if", but a matter of "when" we have another attack. Seems to me that if they believe this statement, our borders would have been secured immediately.
When our economy experiences a backslide, unemployment begins to rise, the additional 12,000,000 people that are already draining our social programs will not only be unemployed, but will continue to cost EVERY taxpayer in this country dearly. Add a terrorist attack to this major drain and I'm afraid we will experience something like we haven't experienced in 76 years(for those mathe challenged folks, that would be the great depression of 1929).

Thank you for the help.
