Why in the world can't President Bush see the necessity for closing the borders? I think he's a near-great president, but this failure is almost bad enough to cancel out the impact of his successes in Iraq and Afghanistan. If he'd turn this around, I'd rank him right up there with Washington and Reagan.
It's not that he can't. He won't. "Guest Workers" are cheap labor.
Please don't insult the legacy of Reagan by comparing him to Bush. Bush is a socialist. He's what you get when your other choice is John Kerry.
