"The federal government is the one with primary responsibility, yet we have the double whammy of the government not acting on our broken borders," Cornyn said.

President Bush truly does not understand how strongly middle America feels about illegal immigration.

If the Republicans don't wake up and stop blaming their losses on lack of voter turnout, we will lose in 2008 as well.

President Bush doesn't care. He's a lame duck and is free to destroy the republic in any manner he chooses.

I think President Bush does understand, but doesn't care. He's more interested in solving the problem with some kind of amnesty: "immigration reform" that will insure a cheap labor force. Killers, drug dealers, gangsters, that's just collateral damage. Americans losing jobs - oh well, it's a global marketplace. Pay cuts for everyone! The only people who are happy are the fat cats who rake in the profits by minimizing labor costs.

Doesn't the American President, and the Federal Government have a duty to protect the jobs and well being of the citizens of our country? I guess not.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, told reporters during a press conference on Thursday that he plans to ask for the money...

That's our senator. He'll "ask" for the money. Not much chance of getting it but he can campaign on having asked for it. If we had a real representative he would make sure that the money got put in the budget.

From early on in this Administration it has become evident that "W" amongst many others in our Government is pro open borders, and what we think or want concerning the matter is of little interest to their agenda.

Years ago Bauer stated to the effect that the most dangerous threat to American sovereignty was the influx of International Corporations, loyal only to the almighty dollar purchasing the power to control this Nation via the economy.

Opening our borders to illegals provides a workforce of cheap labor which benefits those International Corporations and other business, but wreaks havoc with American lifestyle.

It is apparent there was some truth to his prophecy.

Would $90000 in cash from Democrat Rep. William Jefferson's freezer help?
