There is a problem, but it didn’t start yesterday and it didn’t start when George Bush was elected.
It has been growing, largely ignored, for 30-40 years. Now in the last few years people have noticed, hey, we have illegals here. wonder how that happened?
They seem to think Bush can wave a wand and they will disappear. Any reasonable statement he makes about dealing with the problem sends them into a fury.
He always emphasizes the border, but because he also mentions dealing with those already here ... which we have to do, by the way ... fries the brain cells of the one-issue people here.
We all know this problem has been developing for decades, but it would seem given the war on Islamofacism and the terrorists patience and willingness to do whatever is necessary to kill us, that this would be an important time to plug up the holes.
OUr brave men and women are fighting away the wolves at the front door while we’ve left the back door open.
Illegal Immigration cannot be seperated from illegal drug trade or the mission of the Islamofacists.
Rubbish. To start with, we can start enforcing the laws already on the books. Second, we need to make a concerted effort to gather data on the problem, i.e., the number of illegals and where they are located. We should require schools, hospitals, law enforcement, to gather this data as part of doing business. We can't make good public policy without this information. Third, there should be no sanctuary cities. Finally, enforcement first. Until Bush and his supporters of comprehensive reform can prove that they are serious about enforcement and securing our borders, nothing else should be done.
