WRONG!
First off, Bush didn't promise 12,000 new border patrol agents. He said there would be an increase of 6,000, starting a year from now.
"By the end of 2008, we will increase the number of Border Patrol officers by an additional 6,000."
Bush`s other rhetoric sounded good. Josh Bolton, Tony Snow and Karl Rove did a good job of preparing Bush for this speech. But I'm not convinced Bush will do anything. He has had five years-four months, 55 months since 9-11, and so far very little has been accomplished to secure the borders and enforce employer sanctions.
Bottomline. Bush still supports amnesty. That is unacceptable. Period.
