Invoke the Carter Doctrine: All talk - No action!

Last week when the White House announced President Bush would hold an evening press conference addressing illegal immigration to further discussions, it could just as well have used that time to announce President Bush had issued some Executive Orders to immediately address illegal immigration. Needless to say, he did not.

I am thoroughly convinced President Bush is not capable of handling this problem. Tonight he confirmed the problem will exist at least through the remainder of his administration, and his oft repeated vow to secure our borders carried all the validity of his fathers' promise to not raise taxes during that administration.

LBJ's actions created the "Great Society" 40 years ago, the effects of which have affected this nation in a negative manner, IMO.

I wonder what Bush's action will be called 30 years from now when a third of the population is only one or two generations removed from south of the border makes every effort to retain it's identity and culture instead of assimilating into and learning American culture; Are Mexican values what we want shaping this nation 30 years from now?

President Bush (and the rest of the Republicans, for the most part) has shown he will do as competent a job handling the virtual flood of immigration, as Governor Blanco did handling a genuine flood in Louisiana.

Which is to say, "no job at all".

It hurts to realize this, as a Republican and a conservative.

But the truth hurts, indeed.

And one must say it anyway.
