Is this for real? Or did someone do some computer work to "create" this?
Anyone, including you, who thinks the Pres is serious about border control is simply blind to the facts. Rant all you want, spin, whine and scream but President Bush wants an open border, both north and south, and he wants to give all the criminals who have come here illegally to have amnesty. It is plain to anyone who will open their minds to what is really going on here.
This issue is the big one for right now and probably will be for some years to come. The President and the both houses had better get with the program if they want republicans to hold seats for long.
If I have offended you by implying you are an idiot, who cares? I certainly don't, because the future of this country is at stake and we need to stop this illegal alien BS now, with serious law enforcement of our existing laws, or we are going to be minus many freedoms very soon. Talking nice to idiots who can't see that simple fact is not on my agenda.
Excellent, thanks.
Don't link to that video of Bush waving the Mexican flag, because it so upsets the Bushbots.
lol
He certainly had plenty of time for meeting with Vinnie the Fox...

That is what I heard him say on Fox this morning also. That's why I went to his website to find something in writing.
The President is the Commander=in=Chief
of the ARMED FORCES...not the Border Patrol,
which falls under the auspices of the
STATE GOVERNORS. If Bush were to send
SOLDIERS to the border, that could be
interpretted as an act of aggression by
the Mexican govt. And believe it, there
are those in Congress who would LOVE to
see the Pres. do something just that dull-
witted!
Bush has been in contact with the govs.
of each of those states. THAT'S the
extent of his prerogative for action.
Have these sheriffs put their case before
their governors? The chain of command
must be within protocol; otherwise, Bush
is open for criticism re over-riding his
powers. He's already received gubernatorial
assent for his plan to send thousands of
STATE National Guardsmen to the border.
He is curtailed from doing more LEGALLY.

Poe requested the meeting for members of the Southwestern Sheriffs' Border Coalition a group that includes all 26 border-county sheriffs from California, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas. The sheriffs wanted to speak to the president about the increasing dangers in their communities and along the border.
(He certainly had plenty of time for meeting with Vinnie the Fox...)
Hey now, everyone has their priorities.
It seems to me that this is a financial issue, and the president has NO constitutional authority to do something like this. IIRC, ALL financial obligations of the US Government MUST originate in the House.

Perhaps to address their valid concerns? I don't know about you, but I think it's a big deal when Mexican troops cross into this country to support drug smuggling - and threaten law enforcement officers as well. Bush should be unleashing hell upon anyone who tries such.
BTW, if the local sheriffs are aware
of terrorists slipping through the
border, you can bet the President
of the nation is also aware...without
being told by them.
The border patrol is controlled by the feds, not state governors.
The FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is responsible for the borders and it's Bush's job to secure it.
Why should Bush meet with sheriffs and others who protect our borders. In 2010, if Bush gets his way, he will have permanently erased our borders with Mexico and will have destroyed America's sovereignty with his "North American Union" shadow government. Bush has no intentions of ever protecting this border. Bush is just passing time placating people until the 2006 elections are done, then he will complete his plan to give away our country to the New World Order.
Gawd, last I checked, the BP was part of Homeland Security, which is under Bush's command.
That's a pretty poor Bush apology even by the limited standards for such on this issue.
You got that right. Fox oughta take a room in the White House because he is running it.
Well, he did go down there, right? Didn't they see that on the TV? I think that President Bush has made himself quite clear on the issue. I can't imagine how anyone could be confused as to his intentions with regard to illegal immigration from Mexico. I mean, he did send some NG troops, right?
