I'm gonna have to agree. Bush needs to get tough on border control, as does the rest of the GOP.

They will be labeled as racists for getting tough on border securuty but they are labeled that way no matter what they do.
Remember the TV statement by Daddy that there is a NEW WORLD ORDER OUT THERE??? Son is just carrying on.
It would be more accurate to say that government has been and is still selling out America.
"No matter what some may say about his efforts in other areas, he continues to destroy our country simply out of greed."
Interesting sentence. This could have come out of the Democrat Underground website. And I've never heard of this guy's organization before.
Yeah, why isn't Bush down at the Mexican border with a shotgun?
You means he's getting paid to destroy our country? Just a guess, but this guy ought to consider being checked for a brain tumor.
Well put.
Simple minds think alike.
What a loon. Bush bashing in the morning...smells like defeat!
Definition of greed: Excessive desire for more than one needs or deserves: acquisitiveness, avarice, avariciousness, avidity, covetousness, cupidity, graspingness. Informal : grabbiness.
Though his border policies are not acceptable, greed does not strike me as a motivation. Would that trait not have shown up earlier in his life?
Articles like this which presume an unproven motivation hurt as much as they help, since they sound like the left's mantra and risk being ignored.
If the Dems were not the Dims, they would co-opt the Borders issue.

>>>Did he not learn anything from the FEMA debacle?<<<
You had my attention, Freeman Sawyer, until you included that idiotic statement. Mike Brown was one of Bush's best choices. Next time stick with the facts. We have had enough innuendo from the leftist media and their lapdogs in the democratic party.
A truer statement has never been made. W has sold us out, and probably the Repub party. I believe we will see sweeping Dim wins in the next election.
On many levels I agree with the writer's sentiments. What are borders for if we pretend they don't even exist.
I have not come to disagreement with that, but a story that came out of the wake of Katrina, brought home something Bush understands about the many illegal immigrants who come here.
(I will tell you the story from memory, so I may make some mistakes) There was a group of illegal families in New Orleans caught in the pre-storm scare about Katrina and had to decide what to do. By the nite of Saturday before the storm they decided they should try to leave, but a few of the women were working in downtown hotels in the maid service and their bosses demanded they go to work Sunday morning. The women went work and the families waited. By noon Sunday the hotel managers decided they would close and told the workers they could go home.
The families collected all the stuff they could fit with them into three or four old cars they had and they set out in a convoy for Houston. They were sure of one thing, they needed to stick together. Along the way to Houston they ran out of gas money and slept the nite in their cars and on the ground at a park. A Christian church gave them money for gas the next day and they did finally make it to Houston.
They got into one of the evacuation centers in Houston the nite the storm hit New Orleans. After the storm they tried to figure out what to do and what assistance they could get. At every step of the way they never lied to anyone about their status. They did get some food but in being honest about their status they turned in their Fema assistance papers telling the volunteers the truth, they had no green cards.
Someone among the volunteers told them about a Salvation Army or church group that was helping evacuees. With little gas left they got back in their cars and did make it to that Church center. They got to shower, sleep on cots and a days worth of meals at the Center.
Knowing their status, the church was limited, except through their own means, as to how much they could help. The group decided they needed to get to Memphis (I think it was Memphis) where one of their group (about 30 men women and children) had a relative. But they had spent their last money getting to the church center.
The church took up a special collection and gave them $200 per car for gasoline. They spent the next couple days driving to Memphis, sleeping on the road and just praying they would not get stopped anywhere.
They made it to Memphis and to make a long story short - with help from their one connection there, and that connection's church and individuals at the church, within a week or two most of the adults were working and the children were in day care.
I know, I know the adults are illegal.
But, you know what, these people are survivers, self-reliant survivors - unlike a large % of the poor in New Orleans. Did they and do they get help? Yes. But they got help that was offered and they were not expecting any entitlement and they were not waiting for some entitlement. They had no idea what was waiting for them in Memphis, but doing something, anything, rather than waiting for a handout is in their blood. How can we be surprised when many of them walked a good part of the distance from their villages in Mexico to the Rio Grande.
It sounded racist when Vicente Fox said it (Mexican immigrants take the jobs blacks won't do), but he was right. The one difference is that it is not race, but culture - the entitlement society that liberals built for the "poor".
Not being part of that, the immigrants are not locked into it, so they will take the risks, bear the burdens, live through the stuggles it takes to move from minimum wage unskilled labor, to having a skill, and beyond. While unemployment in the urban ghettos remains high.
How do we encourage young poor men in our urban cities to move out into the country and take the risks that the immigrants are taking? Proping up the infrastructure of the ghettos is not going to do it and government forcing the creation of unsustainable jobs in those areas is not going to do it either.
I know it sounds like a lack of compassion, but in the long run, for their own benefit and for the benefit of their children, the urban poor need to leave and become immigrants to the areas of the country that are growing and building. They need to leave their liberal welfare blue states and move to the southern growing red states.
What is strange is that we do not mind saying that when it is a choice that a wealthy or middle class family is making because of changes the parents are forced to make, but we are ashamed of suggesting that the poor gather themself up and make the same choice - move.
