You will not find any posts that I have made that indicate that I am opposed to border enforcement.

I have pointed out that a reform bill such as Tancredo's or Kyl-Cornyn would require a lot more enforcement than the Bush Plan which would require more enforcement than McCain-Kennedy.

I have also pointed out that trying to remedy the illegal problem with enforcement only(no comprehensive reform) is destined for failure. They can't enforce the laws they have now, so why create more laws. They have doubled resources on the southern border over the last decade, yet more illegals are entering now than there were then.

You would never actually admit to that, of course. But your relentless attacks on those who are trying to enforce the law, tell the tale all too clearly.

Where did DeLay say that he wanted enforcement only? He said he wanted enforcement. The issue he was commenting on in the article of the thread was whether these particular illegals who were rounded up should or should not have been deported. So the only question that needed to be answered for the purposes of this thread was which of the two options - deporting them, or not deporting them - would have helped the situation more. Shouldn't be all that hard to answer.
