It was just a figure of speech. I do think it is safe to say that the immigration that’s causing all this fuss is from Mexico rather than other various, and minor, sources.
I’m not in favor of open borders either. I’m just in favor of getting better control over the flood of people coming here to work. Then the border patrol and customs will have a more realistic chance to do the important task of keeping the bad guys out.
Bush has no intention of controlling the border, he favors the free flow of people, it’s part of his Wall St. Journal, free trade philosophy. Talk of more border control is only that, 18 months from now just as many will be violating those borders as they are today, and probably even more so.
