He also knew there was a security problem at the airports, at it was a "serious problem." That issue was addressed (overnight and for months, with National Guard); it look at that and say, "it was taken seriously." By contrast, the border simply is not.
Do you honestly believe that voting the Dems in will solve the border problem? The evidence is pretty clear the Dems will make it far worse than it is, with no hope of recovery. Seems to me that all of the most extreme visions of the immi threads will come true, plus you'll get the entire socialist dream given to you as well.
Do you know that Specter is asking for hearings about the NSA wiretapping???
THAT is something that President Bush did immediately after 9/11 to help our "security problems"...and now look at the "thanks he gets"...
Do you really believe, that him slamming the borders closed, like you say...would have happened without a HUGH backlash, already the ACLU calls him a racist just for wanting a guest worker program...
Do you also remember that none of the terrorists of 9/11 came from over the southern border...one did try to come from the northern border, bud a border control agent did her job...and stopped him. THAT might be one reason why he has concentrated what security measures he has been ALLOWED to do on other areas..for the time being..
Remember. Bush is NOT a KING....he can't order anything done...and this is one reason his OWN PARTY is questioning his every move.
I really wish so much of the vitriol WAS placed on named Congressweinies...because to blame Bush for everything is wrong and tiresome.
