This border emergency thing is just a crock/ploy. It sounded impressive, until I heard Gov. Richardson describe what he was actually doing. It came down to authorizing $1.7M for police overtime, to hunt down smugglers. While better than nothing, its just a drop in the bucket. I thought it was suspicious as almost all Dems think illegal immigration will help them. Methinks he just wants to make it appear that he's taking major action to make W. look bad.
80% of americans are critical of the Bush handling of the border.
Dems can count, but apparently Bush can't.
Don't be too quick to dismiss this as something that won't help the dems.
