Bush worried about border-hopping terrorists [5 Years Of Open Borders And Now He's Worried]
WorldNet Daily ^ | July 21, 2006 | Les Kinsolving

Posted on 07/21/2006 6:33:00 AM PDT by conservativecorner

Presidential press secretary Tony Snow today defended his boss' level of commitment to border security, saying President Bush is "cognizant" of the fact terrorists may be entering the U.S. illegally.

"The president has made his views on border security well-known," WND told the spokesman, "and my question: Would the president make border security a higher priority if he were convinced it was being used as an entry point by terrorists like those who are part of Hezbollah and al-Qaida?"

Responded Snow: "Think of it this way. The president committed as much money to the borders already as the House of Representatives was planning on doing in five years. So, he was serious before – he's perfectly cognizant of the possibility there may be terrorists crossing over. We have intelligence assets deployed in the area, and so he's not going to be anymore concerned because he's already very concerned about it."

Yesterday, Snow indicated the president "is already putting National Guardsmen in positions where they can relieve the Border Patrol" – part of a $1.9 billion supplemental appropriation.

Illegals?

Nah!

Bush says so in this interview.

[Pay no attention to the illegals climbing over the fence in the background.]

Are these federal crimes, do you think?

The *federal crime* is, NOT securing our borders.

"Well... they haven't been screaming it here on FR the past 5 years, that's for sure.
Illegal immigration and border security just became the topic de jour everyday since the beginning of this year. Go back in FRs history, people were not tearing into Bush here on FR in 01, 02, 03, and even 04 during the election."

You obviously have not been paying attention!

I have been posting problems with the borders & illegals since 9/11!

here is just one
"Federal authorities round up nearly 100 illegal airport workers in crackdown" 4/23/02

You obviously don't live in TX, NM, AZ, or CA. Yes, we do have open borders, and we are drowning in illegals. And yes, there have been Korans and Islamic literature found amid the mountains of trash in the AZ desert. No Mexicans left those. Wake up...or you will be one of those who will be stunned when the next attack comes, as it surely will.

"Here are the rest of the posts that made the border ping list during the last 5 weeks. It's sickening. There are approximately 200."

Holy crap Mr. President, there's no 'may' about it. They have been and still are. Are you really that dense or just playing stupid because your act is getting old and I'm one of millions who is getting sick and tired of it.

Notice you proved my point? You all just chant slogans back and forth at each other. As soon as anyone point the factual reality out to you, you all freak out. The end result is ONLY those people who all ready totally agree bother to read these threads. The vast majority of Freepers simply tune you all out. "Immigration" threads have gotten to be a standing joke with most Freepers.

Where have YOU stated any facts. You haven't because you know the REAL FACTS only support our argument. "Freaked out?" Nawwww, we've learned that many of your type will always profess open borders...just like George W.

BTW, do a little reviewing on FR. This subject was a key point of mine during the 2000 election cycle. IT AIN'T GOIN' AWAY Johnnie!!!

Remember they issed a visa for Mohammed Atta to attend flight school weeks afterwards?

Please go back and do some research.

First, INS does not issue visas.

Second, Atta's 'change of status' was approved by INS before 9/11.

Third, the 'change of status' letter was sent six months late, due to a back log with the contractor.

All of this is well documented on FR.

So Congress passed Homeland Security and they have been working to strengthen and update this area which has many different facets.

To bad what they have been working on for the past 5 years, isn't working.

I bet the Border Patrol would be really amazed to find out that we have an "Open Border".

We already know it's 'Open".

The Senate Bill is dead....You all are politically irrelevant

If we were politically irrelevant, the Senate bill would have passed by now.

I've been here since 01 and have been tearing into Bush since 9/11 as have many other FReepers.

Looks like you need to do a little research.

I don't read these threads.

Every once in a while, when I run across a story that reminds me that illegal immigration is a problem and that it's causing republicans a problem this election, I ping you.

That's because your attitude toward me last year when I asserted this wasn't of doubt or disbelief or anything reasonable. You began calling me "stupid bush basher" IIRC.

He he looks like you were wrong! 'Course everyone but you knows that! LOL
