"The reality is that there are many people across our borders who will do anything to come here to make a better life."

"walls and barriers will not stop"

Now here's pushing the "guest worker" scam. Changed the canard from "jobs Americans won't do" to "jobs Americans aren't doing." Says that workers must go home at the end of their temporary stay.

This is a little easier to stomach. I'll have to see the details.

Huh? Guest-worker program will increase national security?

I listened to the entire speech.

A little nip here and a tuck there, but really not much new except the National Guard idea. That doesn't impress me at all. Not enough troops, they will have no law enforcement authority (i.e., don't bother to bring your guns and, if you do, there won't be any bullets for them) and will merely be there to "assist the border patrol". He repeats the "I'm opposed to amnesty" mantra, but then goes on to talk about the need for a "guestworker program" that would allow application for citizenship (amnesty).

In other words, same old story with the newly added National Guard ploy used merely as a dog & pony show to convince the terminally stupid that he's finally serious about stopping--once and for all--the invasion of illegal aliens into this country. He isn't. He just wants to legalize them.

I would say that I'm disappointed, but it's hard to be disappointed with something you never expected in the first place.

A complete and total disaster.
