Actually, under the Clinton administration, the Department of Justice deported more illegals and had far more prosecutions of companies employing illegals than the Bush administration. I hardly believe immigration enforcement is a top priority for an AG named Alberto Gonzales.
On the issue of immigration and border security, Bush's philosophy is virtually no different than Gore's or Kerry's. Bush and Tony Snow have both said that the incoming Congress will make it much easier to pass a comprehensive immigration package.
Explain to a Reagan Democrat why it makes sense to be fighting in Iraq when we have done virtually nothing since 9-11 to secure our borders.
This is an area in which Bush has been a total failure.
I couldn't do that, because nothing you allege is true, except more company prosecutions. Suggest you research the state of INS on 9/11 and the changes that have been made. It is true that illegal workers have had a lower priority than terrorists until now.
