For the first time in my lifetime we have a president who, while fighting a war in two countries, still made the effort to address the illegal immigration problem. It's just not being addressed in the exact same manner that the hysterics want it addressed.

Right, we're in the middle of a war on terrorism and our borders are still wide open after 9-11 and inviting to anyone who wishes our Country harm and you think it's hysterics to want to protect and close our borders? I'm pretty damn sick of our soldiers protecting every frikkin border in the world but our own. Shut it down already!

The borders are hardly wide open.

Since President Bush took office, agents have apprehended and sent home more than 6 million people entering the country illegally - including more than 400,000 with criminal records. Federal, State, local, and tribal law enforcement are working together. More than 600,000 illegal immigrants were apprehended through the Arizona Border Control Initiative last year - an increase of more than 50 percent over the previous year. The men and women of our Border Patrol have made good progress - but we have much more work ahead, and we will not be satisfied until our agents have full control of our border.

At least be honest, this president is trying, more than any other president, to actually DO something.
