and will fill up these threads with ugly insults and ridicule!
That kind of thing hasn't happened in awhile. Yes, there are those of us who are not pleased with the Administration's lack of apparent response to this issue. There are even those of us who criticize President Bush for appearing to be a buddy of President Fox and a One World Order kind of guy.
But we also have the integrity to acknowledge and praise our President when he does the right thing, as this legislation and this radio address appear to be.
I would be more willing to praise the President if I thought he was sincere. But in truth, he was against this legislation and Congress had to stuff it down his throat. His budget only requested 200 new Border Patrol agents. This bill funded 1000 and additional funding for 500 more was included in the Iraq War Supplemental Funding bill.
The only thing I believe the President is sincere about is throwing open our borders to unlimited numbers of cheap labor serfs. I am not at all convinced that is the right thing to do and he is not going to get any praise about it from me. His tough talk about border security is just a ploy to accomplish that goal and his failure to enforce any of our immigration laws against employers convinces me that he has no intention of sincerely enforcing our laws. When he took office there were between 6 and 8 million illegals. Now there are at least 11 million and perhaps 20. The only acknowledgment the President deserves on this issue is that he has absolutely and willfully failed in his duty. For that he deserves condemnation, not praise.
SAY WHAT?
I hope you're right. Like many, too many perhaps, I don't spend a lot of time learning enough to complain. That's harder since I don't trust much of what is in the MSM. Still, it sure seems there are some simple common sense actions the US could or should do to stop the flow while still addressing employer needs and concerns.
I was just going to ping you to this. Great to see you.
Ping!
