Your calling it 'window dressing' doesn't change the fact that it is not 'nothing.' Just be accurate next time, OK? Words mean things.
What good is "doing something" when it has the same effect as doing nothing? It's the same thing.
Bush isn't stupid. It's obvious he has no desire to stop illegal aliens from flooding into the country, but he thinks he can pull the wool over our eyes by having "increased electronic surveillance" and "increased numbers of border patrol."
It sure worked with you, though.
