I searched but did not see a thread already open for tonights speech. I think this is the most important speech the President will probably make for the remainder of his term.


Mod Note:
This could turn into a whack-a-troll thread. All immigration trolls that would like to participate should post here. It'll be interesting to see if we mods can whack the trolls faster than they can sign up new accounts.

Doubling the size of our border patrol isn't nearly enough.

Not down here at San Ysidro!

President Bush, an honorable and dignified man, with firm beliefs and a vision for America. I believe he has always acted with our safety and what's best for America in his mind. While we may not all agree with his actions or positions, we MUST all agree that the DemonRats must NEVER, EVER again, be speaking from this office.

Throwing money at the situation. Equipment, more personnel. Same thing, different year.

"High tech fences in urban areas. Cameras. UAVs. Barriers and border roads in rural areas."

I like the sound of that. He's still only talking about enforcement. GOOD!

Now talking about using the National Guard.

Good. So far. Waiting for the amnesty that isn't really amnesty pitch.

National Guard will be today's version of a chain gang.

This makes me nauseous.

N. Guard for just one year--then to be reduced.

Big deal!

This is all window-dressing.
