I remember that one. I thought you were talking about promises that Bush has made before. You can't hold Bush responsible for what Reagan did.
You misunderstand me completely. I don't even blame Reagan for that.
It's the system. The problem is, Bush can only propose.
Congress will have to pass bills to fund, then the beauracracy will have to implement.
And since there is much personally to be gained by Congressmen by *not* enforcing these laws, the laws won't get enforced. Border security will *not* be beefed up.
Bush last night asked me to 'trust' that congress will put aside their pork-barrel aproach to funding and do what's right for the country. I do NOT trust the Rs in congress to do that. They will only fund that which is personally beneficial to them.
They will get money from lobbyists of businesses who want cheap labor, and they will leave the flood gates open. Same way we got and keep the H1-B program.
Bush did not address the main cause of our problems -- the corruption of the system. When immigration officals do large sweeps of businesses and haul off workers, the owners of the business can call their congressman and get their workers back.
I've heard stories here in Texas you wouldn't believe!
So like with campaign finance reform, they now propose more laws to stop them from ignoring the laws???
Bush hasn't found the right note on this issue yet.
