It's been on the radar of the Southwest for a LONG time. It's been brewing like a powder keg. They have finally been able to raise awareness across the country.

If Bush hadn't pushed the issue, Congress would never have considered it.

I think you had best either (1) go back and study your history or (2) go back into the White House and let them know that spin is not going to fly with the FR crowd (and 70% of the country).

Bush 'pushing' the issue... he's doing a lousy job at it.

I don't care about what Congress' or the President's agendas are. They have nothing to do with what the people want. They have their own agendas (to get re-elected).

The fact is, tensions have been rising in this country over illegal immigration for some time, regardless of whether El Presidente mentioned it in 2005. To suggest that the nation suddenly wants to fix the border problem because Bush wants it is pathetic BushBot mentality.

When were we discussing stopping illegals with the new social security card...and where is that card?

Seems to me the Administration made a big deal about it.

Boy, are you ever spinning.

It was the Minutemen that caused the issue to be "addressed" by CONgress.
