That's one big ole crock of crap. Of course the borders should've been shut down right after 9-11. Closing the borders isn't stopping us from being who we are. Its all about national security and protecting US sovereignty.
PresBush has engaged in the raw politics of hypocrisy. If Bush signed off on this today, he could just as easily have signed off on it sometime right after 9-11.
Well, we hadn't been hit since 9-11, so whatever they were doing was the right thing. Closing down the border was not the major issue with the terrorists, since most, if not all of them came here with legal visas. So what's your point?
You want the President to do meaningless gestures, instead of focusing on the real threat?
