and your observations from along the border??????

[John Jorsett]

“National Guard troops are helping with surveillance, construction and logistics,” Bush said in his weekly radio address.

If civilian volunteers do this, they're vigilantes. If the National Guard does it, they're heros.

To achieve comprehensive immigration reform, the government also must work in four other areas, Bush said. A temporary worker program that will create a legal and orderly path for foreign workers to enter the country needs to be established; immigration laws need to be enforced at the nation's work sites;

There already are work site laws. How about enforcing them before you pass some new laws to ignore?

Bush Talks Immigration at the Border

Breitbart AP

August 3, 2006

NEDRA PICKLER

President Bush got a firsthand look Thursday at ways the government fights illegal immigration and said that securing the border with Mexico will require more people and modern technology.

For Bush's arrival at the airport in nearby McAllen, Texas, the Border Patrol had set up several tools it uses on patrol _ helicopters, a boat and a small plane. ‘We're going to help build a virtual border,’ he said. ‘This border is changing and it needs to change so the Border Patrol can do its job.’

Guard officials said 6,199 troops were somewhere in the four Southwestern border states.

Bureau, said the guard never intended to have 6,000 troops on the border

President Bush: "Now here is the first section of our new 'Virtual Border Fence' which has just been erected. Impressive isn't it?;

REPORTER: “But Mr. President, we can’t really see anything.”

President Bush: ”Well, Nedra, what y’all need to do is put on these special “Rose-Colored Glasses” developed especially for Chertoff’s boys in Homeland Security by Development Under Polliana Ersazt, Inc (DUPE) or these special VR Stereoscopic Displays and shazaam, there is your fence.”

REPORTER: ”But, but, Mr. President, look over there. How come all those ‘Undocumented Immigrants’ are just walking across the border and right thru our new “Virtual Border Fence.”

President Bush: ”Heh, heh. Well, Nedra, why do you think I named it Virtual for? VIRTUALLY ANYBODY CAN GET THRU IT!!!

”Then the president's motorcade took him past waving residents lined up along the streets of Mission to a point about a half-mile from the border. He looked at a "skybox" _ a small box equipped with infrared technology that can be raised in the air so that agents can get a view of busy crossing points. He also petted some of the horses used by agents on the ground.

Yep, that just about sums it up nicely. JUST ANOTHER:

[layman]

A temporary worker program needs to be established; immigration laws need to be enforced at the nation's work sites; the government needs to resolve the status of illegal immigrants already in the country; and the U.S. needs comprehensive immigration reform

And the citizens need to fire the corrupt and incompetent politicians who have allowed this problem to fester for over twenty years.

I think the Minutemen also deserve a vote of confidence for where they have been effective.

Hopefully more patriotic men and women in the House will continue to defeat George Bush and Ted Kennedy's amnesty betrayal schemes, and we'll make it to January 2009, without our children's homeland given away to the third world.
