Almost half of the illegal aliens arriving in the U.S. from terrorist-sponsoring or "special interest" nations in the past few years have been released into the American population following their apprehension. This key finding is published in an internal audit of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) obtained by Cybercast News Service .
The so-called "catch and release" policies have allowed more than 45,000 illegal aliens from countries that are well known for their anti-American views or considered "hotbeds of Islamic fundamentalism" to be freed.
U.S. Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas), in conversations with sheriffs operating along the Texas-Mexico border, learned that illegal aliens of Middle Eastern descent have been able to blend into the culture south of the U.S. border and pass themselves off as Mexicans.

No doubt. He carried himself well after 9/11 but failing to cash in on the op to improve safety will cost the entire party, I fear.
The only "catch and release" program that is known to work is that of the U.S. Navy, first introduced in 2003...
Good one!
As long as he does not shut the borders completely down his WOT rings hollow. I can no longer take him seriously on this issue and neither do the American people. Ever since he started on this amnesty bill, his poll numbers have taken a dive. Iraq is not why his ratings stink--it is the immigration problem.
In my GOP circles, which are quite large, almost everyone is fed up with him. The mantra is: "We did not vote for out of control spending and open borders."
Ditto. He is destroying the once-proud GOP without a care for those he has left behind.
IF? There are 15? million who haven't been caught, or if some of them have, they just turn around and come right back in.
Bush's open borders policies are insane.

My experience is similar and they are saying this about Congress and not just the President.

I have to disagree...Bush is fully aware of the problem...And apparently to him, it's not a problem...And by not closing the borders, Bush is encouraging terrorists to come into our country...
And when one asks why, there are a number of potential scenarios why Bush may want terrorists in our country...
I'm hearing it, too. Strayhorn has a very good chance, I'm learning.
As for the Senate's amnesty bill, that was surrender to the enemy.
Very interesting. I hadn't thought of it that way before. The possibilities are endless.
Bttt!
