...because in Texasforever-land, secure borders are the realm of right-wing extremists.
Would you care to explain what is "so far right" about wanting illegal immigration severely curtailed? This is an overwhelmingly popular stance in this country----one of the few issues that everyone seems to agree on, with the exception of far-leftists and some of the hackier Republican party hacks.
There is not a damn thing wrong with that I was just as mad when I saw the demonstrations as you are. BUT, Bush has a soft spot Hispanics. He always has. There will be no wall on his watch and no matter how much you want to piss and moan he will not build one. Yes illegal immigration is a big problem it has been a big problem for 40 years. When I look at the things that matter to me I see that the GOP has consistently been the party that tracked my own principles. As for Bush, he is the most conservative president in my lifetime and I am well into my sixties. Yes that includes Ronald Reagan because everything that Reagan so eloquently championed with rhetoric Bush has followed with actual results.
