If they don't do anything, people complain, now that they are starting to address the problem and do something, instead of applauding, that better late than never, you are screaming your head off and criticizing.

Chertoff has only been there a few months. Also, Tom Ridge must have done something right, we didn't have any terrorist attacks on US soil during his tenure, but I guess that doesn't count, just so you can bash the Bush administration, right?

Not bashing Bush, just exercising a healthy dose of skepticism and pragmatism.

I have never bashed President Bush's administration. He does have certain individuals in responsible positions who are ineffective or incompetent. Tom Ridge is one. Look at the TSA fiasco. These jack-asses have no common sense.

BTW, I was stumping for Barry AuH20 in 1964. Also, read my bio, kiddo.

No terror attacks are a good thing, but that's hardly the ONLY issue with the borders. And face it, we've been LUCKY. If a terrorist really wanted to get into the country by crossing the border, do you think he couldn't? Are the millions of uneducated illegals that DO make it that much smarter that the usual college educated international terrorist?

Besides, no terror attacks is not the only border issue. The tidal wave of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS is a huge issue for people who live in border states.

Couldn't help but notice that you've been laying low since you publish this ...

I'd be hiding too if I'd published that little gem.

In the past three years not only has the problem gotten dramatically worse under Bush's administration but it has principally been Bush's own personal pronouncements that has created the slippery slope. Not only have Bush's pronouncements given hope to Mexico's poor, which has fueled the rush north but his attitudes now leave most to conclude that he'll "solve" the problem by accepting all who can make it.

Tom Ridge presided over one of the largest economic assaults against our country by a foreign government in our nation's history. In the past three years illegal immigration from Mexico has bankrupted California and threatens the availability of a social safety net in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Mexico's policy encouraging illegal emigration into the US threatened the economic stability of our republic and Ridge did absolutely nothing to stop it.

Good point, and easy to forget.
