They will be labeled as racists for getting tough on border securuty but they are labeled that way no matter what they do.

Well, I have always been told that courage is being scared but doing it anyway.
Bush needs to show as hard of (or harder) line on immigration as he has on Iraq. It does seem, in hindsight, that Iraq is a distraction. Not a distraction from the War on Terror, but, rather, a distraction from everything else.
If the Bush team reads this post, here's a simple list of things to get done and right fast:
1. Open up ANWR and the Gulf of Mexico immediately.
2. Close the border to Mexico, starting with support for (not the tearing down of) citizen patrols like the Minute Men Project.
3. English is the language. No more forms, books, etc. in 14 different languages or even 2. English. Speak it or get out.
4. Finger in the air and in the face of every leftist group that is trying to tear America down from the inside. Start with the ACLU.
5. Re-fund and restart innovative projects like Able Danger, find the terrorists, and kill them. Don't arrest them, don't detain them...KILL THEM!
Cindy Sheehan and Code Pink already call George Bush a war monger, a terrorist, etc. Far as I'm concerned, Bush should give them a little "You think that I'm a war monger now, wait 'til you see what happens next" attitude. The old "wait 'til they get a load of me" approach.
Just afraid that Bush is doing too much talkin', not enough walkin'.
Maybe I'm just in a rut? Maybe it's just me? Unfortunately, I don't think that I am. I guess it doesn't help that I paid $3.05 a gallon this morning.
I think V. Fox must have threatened war if we close the border. I say we do it now.
