Good. The border is one of the most pressing issues we face and the President has been completely derelict on it during his five years in office. We need to keep the pressure on him about this. Its too important to the future of our nation not to.

It should not be NECESSARY to "keep the pressure" on Bush to do something about the borders. He has REFUSED to see it as a major problem. The reasons for this are not hard to find. Do NOT expect anything to be done by President Bush about the borders! He should have "led" the way he did on the WOT, because, for all any of us know, the Border issue is and should be linked to the WOT. But he figured he'd trade off one for the other. Unlike the contradictions of LBJ trying to wage the Vietnam War,a brutal enterprise, while fighting the War on Poverty at home (an orgy of programs with money thrown at them), Bush would have basically had to fight TWO wars on TWO fronts, BOTH of them GRUELING, RELENTLESS and offering no immediate upside.
