That's wrong, border security has not improved. Border enforcement has deteriorated beyond belief. The local Houston radio talk show hosts (good conservatives and long time Bush supporters all) have done live remote broadcasts from the border. It's a crisis situation which Bush, Chertoff et al just plain lie about.

The principal talk show host Dan Patrick just won a 69% victory for state senate as a political novice in a 4 way race over 3 well known political officeholders with his No. 1 issue as "order on the border." He, like the vast majority of voters are LIVID with Bush over this issue.

In the next legislative session, Texas will take steps to secure the Texas border with Mexico, and we don't give a rat's patoot what Bush and the federal government says about it.

I hope our friends in the great state of Texas have much success in securing their border. Perhaps they can set an example for the rest of us.

I agree with your use of the word "livid." Our local Houston area congressman, John Culberson (R-TX), had a town hall meeting on immigration last week. The crowd was overwhelmingly for better border security and cheered a Minuteman who spoke briefly.

Culberson was worried that Bush's lax border security policy was letting in and had let in terrorists. He felt that if the border issue was explained in terms of the WOT that proponents of lax border policy had no comeback.

I love it. Americans doing the job the President won't do.






Mr. President, the wheels are coming off your crazy train.
