"lower the temperature and get people to talk about basic principles."

Remember the big tado last year about putting the NG on the border?

They never did have the full 6,000 on the border for any length of time -- and the program ended after 1 year. Most NG were in and out on 2-week deployment. When they were on the border, they were relegated to paperwork and washing vehicles of the Border Agents, and they were prohibited from carrying weapons.

The whole thing was a shellgame sham. It was designed for one purpose: to hoodwink the public into thinking the Bush Administration was serious about security the border.

Then, look at catch-and-release. Last year, Michael Chertoff made a big deal about ending 'catch-and-release'. Just one minor detail -- they didn't end it for Mexicans -- they continue, even now, the c&r for them. And most of those big raid? Most of the ones rounded up were -- after the headlines were made -- released; many within hours of their detainment.

And the spy drones that were used to stop illegals -- they were restricted to specified air spaces, and most of those covered areas were where illegals didn't come across the border anyway.

Yet, now, Team Bush expects us to believe that this new CI bill will be tough on border security.

“lower the temperature and get people to talk about basic principles.”

One of the reasons people are so pissed over this is the consistent, perpetual lying! They keep telling us we can’t deport 12 million, so that’s the reason we don’t deport anyone. They keep saying jobs Americans won’t do, when everyone knows they mean jobs Americans won’t do for the poverty wages being paid. They say they are tough on closing the border, but who are you going to believe them, or your lying eyes?

I have supported Bush right down the line on Iraq, but after listening to this garbage, I wonder what else he’s been lying about?

The worst scam imaginable!!!!
