" The president cited a 66 percent increase in border-security funding since he took office, along with a 42 percent increase in interior-enforcement spending and a total of 6 million illegal aliens caught and returned home."

Why are you not giving any credit to President Bush for the positive actions he took in securing the borders?
Positive actions are all BS and lip service. Catch and release,no employer sanctions, 1/10 the amount of agents he promised etc...
He invited millions more illegals over here with his talk of amnesty, and when the Border Patrol took a survey about reasons for coming the WH got the survey squashed. He was waving them into the USA with both hands and in Spanish.
He gets credit for exactly what he has done, which is abrogated his responsibility as President to enforce our laws.
Fair opinions require fair facts.

It isn't mine. I'm just going to it and spreading the word.

Thanks for the bump.

That's the first thing I thought when I read the headline.
He can cite all he wants, more enforcement is needed and more apprehensions are made because more are coming across, invited by non other then our Presidente. Why doesn't he say enough is enough you are no longer welcome here, leave? The rest is just lip service to us peons. If your really believe he is doing something you are dreaming.
...According to Congressman John Hostettler, chairman of the House Immigration Subcommittee, there is cause to question the adequacy of funding for immigration enforcement. But that is only one area of concern; the Indiana Republican disagrees with the direction the Bush Administration is taking on several immigration issues.
Hostettler wants the Administration to review government decisions that ENCOURAGE or LEGITIMIMIZE illegal alien presence in the United States, such as the U.S. Treasury Department's decision to accept Mexican Consular cards as identification for aliens seeking to open bank accounts, or other federal policies that would offer unregistered persons potential amnesty.
Besides calling such policies into question, Hostettler also wants to make sure President George W. Bush is aware of the need to provide more funding to enforce existing immigration policies that are effective.

Here are your apprehensions by year, notice the distinct drop since 2000

Bush is a globalist. They want to and they are doing away with all borders, period.
The people behind the globalist agenda are the rich wealthy business people and corporations in the world.
The party of big business has always been the Republican party though it really doesn't matter now because both parties are controlled by them.
The American worker has been under systematic attack for the last forty years.
Big business loves cheap, or better still if they can get it, free or slave labor always have always will.
They used to have some since of character and loyalty to the country that gave them the freedom, atmosphere and security they needed to become successful.
That started ending in the sixties and increased profits at any cost became the object.
First they took their money and their factories overseas even to those who are our sworn enemies and hate us.
Now they want to import a giant pool of cheap labor preferably of illegals who can't complain about unsafe, unsanitary ,working conditions or bad treatment and our president[ I voted for him twice also so don't feel bad] is going to see that they get it.
Workers who won't dare join unions, ask for pay raises increase, workman's comp for injuries, overtime pay, complain about 14 hour days.
People who will do the jobs that Americans won't do anymore because they can't make a living at it because the benefits are nonexistence and the wages are only a third of what they used to be.
People who won't pay income tax, social security tax, property tax, buy automobiles, homes, pay utilities, buy car tags, insurance, pay to send their kids to school but send them anyway where they are furnished with a free education and a couple of meals at the expense of real American workers.
If they or their kids get sick they use the emergency rooms to treat them and the hospitals to have their kids. Do they pay for any of this . No. How do you send them a bill or turn them over to a collection agency when they have no address and just walk away?
Our hospitals and emergency rooms are going bankrupt and all the Republicans can do is bitch and moan about what our elderly real Americans, who's blood and sweat built this country, who worked and paid their taxes for fifty years are costing the government.
Yes they cry about that and pour money by the boatload to a desert called Iraq to a bunch of people who blow it up faster than we can rebuild it.
These are the same people who hate our guts and insist that they and everyone on the planet live in the seventh century and worship a camel herder or die.
I guess if we just would dress our elderly up in a turban, shout death to Jews and Americans and tell them they where members of Hamas and give a West Bank address our leaders would stumble all over them selves to pour millions in to see to their every need.
Somebody has to pay for all this and it's that racist, lazy, good for nothing American worker the same one that's been paying since this country was founded.
The only difference was in the distant past our President and our leaders used to care more about our country and pleasing the citizens in it than they did about pleasing those in Mexico, Saudi Arabia, West Bank and Red China.
That's no longer the case.
That should be good enough to win the mid-terms.
"He would by executive order require all government law enforcement to actually enforce existing immigration laws."
Did I miss him signing this Executive Order?
Surely the USSC would uphold withholding Federal funds from jurisdictions which refuse to enforce immigration laws.
Costa Mesa, Calif. is the first city in the country to vote to begin using city Police to question people about residency upon encounters with law enforcement.
Cities which have declared themselves to be "safe havens" should get no Fed money, effective with this EO, which I doubt Bush has signed/will sign.
I happen to believe employers are a very big part of the problem. If they fear big fines and jail, for knowingly hiring illegals, it is a good start. It can be done regardless of border walls.
The republican agenda say NOTHING with regard to immigration. About every 2 weeks I get a letter asking for money, along with their agenda, NO WHERE DOES IT MENTION IMMIGRATION. I take a sharpie and write over it, build the wall, and start deporting, then you'll get some money.
...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.[Posted on 03/19/2013 7:04:07 AM PDT by Perdogg]
Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.
Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.
Let's start that conversation by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.
If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...
This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.
Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.
Latinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow... [and the buried lead] "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers...[Posted on 04/21/2013 1:52:42 PM PDT by SoConPubbie]
