---It's not Bush's fault.

The Senate is the principal source of corruption and political weakness for America. ---

So, Bush has basically left the House, which already passed a tough enforcement bill, twisting in the wind and has joined our wishy-washy Senate in ignoring the will of the American people. How is this not his fault?

Did I miss the part about the fence? Did I miss the part where he praised the House for their good work?

No-- Bush indicated increased enforcement and actions which will double border agents.

Actually, in order for legislation to pass in the United States it has to pass both chambers of Congress.

This means that the border bots dominating these boards are determined to sink border enforcement by insisting that only enforcement pass House and Senate.

CLUE: THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN

I dislike this on this issue and a million others. But it seems as if the border bots don't know anything about the US senate. Bush is helping build a consensus somewhat more favorable to the House.

It is now not unreasonable for those of us who support to identify the border bots as ANTI-BORDER enforcement.

yes, that is right. You know that enforcement only will not pass the Senate but you blindly insist on discrediting Bush as if that would matter at all.

Border bots must elect senators to do their bidding as they have done in the House.

Border bots are wrong to destroy the president on this issue and true conservatives are right to call them on it.

Apparently you did. Not exactly praise for the House but said they had passed a bill and now the Senate needed to do the same and work the two together.

From Bush's Speech:

We will construct high-tech fences in urban corridors,..............

The Guard will assist the Border Patrol by operating surveillance systems … analyzing intelligence … installing fences and vehicle barriers … building patrol roads … and providing training.....................................................

The House has passed an immigration bill. The Senate should act by the end of this month – so we can work out the differences between the two bills, and Congress can pass a comprehensive bill for me to sign into law.
