I disagree.
I would really like to know of this angry irrational mob why they did not remove Bush from office in 2004?
Bush got 62 million votes in 2004 but suddenly he is only public official in America responsible for illegal immigration.
The borders have never been closed in this country. We have never successfully deported people at this level. But we must do it at all costs.
I do not agree.
The same reason why we thought Benedict Arnold was a good guy until he betrayed us.
BTW, you crack me up. Please keep posting as you do add a lot of comic relief.
Kerry received 59 million. Bush is the one who is pushing the legalization of 12 to 20 million illegal aliens. The buck stops with him.
The borders have never been closed in this country.
After 9/11 that is inexcusable and intolerable. Are we or are we not in a global war against Islamic fundamentalism?

Illegals from terrorist nations are crossing the border into Arizona.
We have never successfully deported people at this level. But we must do it at all costs.
Phony strawman. First we need to secure our borders, including tracking and repatriating visa overstays. There is no need to hold hostage secure borders to comprehensive immigration reform. Why hasn't Bush enforced the immigration laws on the books, including fining employers who hire illegals? He has done far less than even Clinton. Many illegals will go home if they can't find jobs.
One President did make an effort to repatriate large numbers of illegal aliens.
First, I defy you to back up your slanderous charge that the mainstream of the conservative movement, which opposes this monstrous bill, has become an "irrational mob."
Second, we did not remove Bush because in 2004 he was the lesser of two evils. Kerry would have been much worse.
Bush got 62 million votes in 2004 but suddenly he is only public official in America responsible for illegal immigration.
The constitution vests the executive branch with the power and responsibility to enforce the law. As president, Bush is the chief executive. Therefore, the primary blame for not enforcing the law lies with Bush.
But I suppose expecting the president to do his duty under the constition is irrational in your mind.
The borders have never been closed in this country.
Sure they were, between 1924 and 1965.
We have never successfully deported people at this level.
Sure we have. Eisenhower did it quite efficiently back in the 1950's. Google "operation wetback."
But we must do it at all costs.
No, I think the better strategy is attrition. Make life impossible for illegal aliens here and they will gradually leave on their own.
