What the hell are you talking about? Doing something about it was one of his campaign issues in 2000.
I just don't understand the hatred of Bush over this issue. It seems to even cause convenient memory loss so that you can make false statements with a clean conscience.
Of course it's an excuse, ANOTHER excuse, to bash President Bush, whose position has not changed since he ran in 2000.
Look at the border towns and check their "elected" US Representatives!
My former Congresswoman was the democrat Susan Davis of San Diego, a border town! She unseated GOP Brian Bilbray and has held the seat ever since.
You'd think, that border towns would elect congress persons who campaign on sealing the vorders etc., but that's not the case.
Much easier to blame POTUS, when in fact, his position has been clear for years.
Sure Bush has always wanted to do something about it. A guest worker program. Problem is, guest worker is to border control as aviation fuel is to firefighting.
