Well said...deserves repeating. Bush had a historic opportunity after 9/11 to enact meaningful immigration reform, and totally fumbled the ball. One of my biggest disappointments with Dubya...and the list keeps growing, unfortunately.
Several of the 9/11 terrorist murderers were illegal aliens by virtue of having overstayed their visas. The time period immediately following 9/11 was the perfect time to address the subject of deporting this country's illegal aliens.
