If I use the plural illegals (which I don't think I did in my last post) it's an acknowledgment that although Mexicans comprise the vast majority of illegals there are other nationalities as well. I would not challenge much of what you said. I can't speak for all or even most of the Bush critics. I refer to those who make it clear they support him in other areas. I just believe that we should not have a gag order against criticism just because the POTUS is besieged by his true enemies. As for unbridled, general Bush bashing, I part company with them. I may be wrong, but I don't think that applies to most of the Bush critics on border issues (and I've read many of their posts). Again, I 'm not referring to the "savagers." As for being "concerned only with the Mexican border," there is every reason to be concerned primarily with it.
It was the word "BORDERS", not "ILLEGALS". And no, the vast majority of BORDERITES here, couldn't care less about any border but the Southern one. Some refuse to even believe that there is a massive problem with illegals coming in through other venues and borders; let alone the fact that we have far more to fear from THEM, than the all in one, lumped together, fallaciously, as "MEXICANS".
If you are not one of these, then take off the "shoe".
