I don’t see anyone saying that there is an easy solution to this problem. There is a simple one, though; enforce the laws we already have on the books. No one expects an overnight remedy. The problem is the government is doing nothing, zero, zilch, nada, about the problem. I simply cannot stand people who say “we can’t” or “it’s too hard”.

I mean how assinine is this? They say it’s too hard to enforce our current laws, so they want to make new ones. Do you really think they will enforce anything? All of these politicians have what I consider a “loser’s” mentality.

I’ve been wondering about the enforcement issue of old laws as well, but apparently they don’t cover enough territory to do what needs to be done. I’m no expert, but I’ve seen enough to know that we can fix more w/ current technology capabilities then was possible 20 years ago. I’m sure they’re attempting to revise laws from 1986, and then through the 1990s.

We’ve had several ‘amnesty’ bills since 1986, so I can’t fathom the matter of precedents alone, much less the integration of the numerous government agencies involved. This is one place where the MSM should be using the term ‘quagmire’ and it is actually appropriate.

I certainly don’t think President Bush has a loser mentality, and while I do think that Senator Kennedy is a loser, I would rather see the whole lot of them working together to solve issues like this instead of fighting about BS such as the attorney general firings, the fake CIA Leak case, or the ‘beat Republicans’ talking points being sold around DC by Chuck Schumer.

A lot of these folks are slimy, self-serving politicians. I don’t consider President Bush to be a ‘politician’. He is not slimy, nor self-serving, he is a leader. I am praying to God that He continue to grant those with good intentions the wisdom to do what is best for our nation.

"They say it’s too hard to enforce our current laws, so they want to make new ones."

If I am not mistaken I think I heard Tony Snow say the existing laws are not enforceable. Well, the same idiot congresscritters that put those laws in that they say are not enforceable are the same ones who are trying to make new laws that they will eventually say are not enforceable.
