"When you have 6 million people apprehended on the border and several million got in on your watch - and you have the ability to stop it - I think you're derelict in your duty," he said. "And if the President says 'I can't do it,' you need a new President who will do it."
I don't see how anyone who cares about the protection of our borders could disagree with Buchanan on this point.
I don't think Bush should be impeached, but I am very disappointed in him on this issue. I think Bush has been a good president in many ways, but I also think he is totally disconnected from the vast majority of Republicans on the issue of illegal immigration. When you consider the national security risks that a de facto open borders presents it is truly maddening that a Bush would let it go on year after year. There is simply no good excuse for that. In 08 we need a President who will address the problem in a serious fashion and with a sense of urgency.
this is an issue Clinton and Carter simply ignored, knowing what a hornet's nest it would break open. So the cowards get a free pass for doing nothind, and the man that is brave enough to whack the nest is getting vilified from all sides.
I really do not know why he puts himself through all he does to protect our sorry as*ses. He has done more to protect out safety than anyone in most of our lifetimes - he gets 99 things right and done and because he tries to get congress and the senate to move on this one issue 0 but cannot force them as we are still a Republic, not a dictatorship, everyone is ready to hang him high.
Keep up the hizzy fits, the libs love you for it. Hand them the elections.,,and see how far you get. They will grant everyone citizenship to gain a voters block they know they can control. (Talk about aiding and abetting the enemy)
I agree. I have never been able to comprehend why the prez has turned a blind eye to that problem, and has cozied up to Fox.
