The president has done everything in his power to give amnesty to illegals. The only reason he is giving this speech, is because of the immense pressure that is being put on him by his own base.
His administration is falling apart, and he must show he has done something, hence the proposal for troops on the border. The only thing is, that before he even made the speech and the proposal, he was telling Vicente Fox that it was temporary.
It is just more of the same. The illegals, especially from Mexico, have been shoved down our throats, and will continue to be shoved down our throats. Aren't you tired of paying for it? Aren't you tired of being told that nothing can be done about it?
Now, that post was articulate and reasonable.
I do not object to your opinion, only how you were expressing it.
This isn't DU.
I'm living right in the middle of it and I am very sick of it. Your post is right on.
