So far, I have heard Fred say he would:

- Build the fence
There already is a "fence". There will never be a 1650 mile fence. Far too expensive and a nightmare to maintain. We just need more Border Agents.
Fences don't arrest people or track them down.

- Not support Amnesty
There will never be deportation en masse, so we need to assimilate millions of folks. Call it what you will.

- Pardon Libby
-That'll never happen, or should never happen. We need to stop "pardoning" anyone who is convicted of a crime. Libby lied. It will be of no
good to anyone to "pardon" him. It will be an embarassment to GW. We do not want that to happen. No pardon for Libby, and there will never
be one.

Hello? Is anyone listening?
--Yes. To what, that depends.

There already is a "fence".

There is? Congress authorized the fence last year - a double fence. Only 2.8 miles of it are currently built. Now, Bush is talking about building more of that fence to divert all the flack he is taking. Is that the fence you mean, it doesn't exist yet because the government is not acting on existing law authored by Congressman Hunter - who by the way has spoken to President Bush specifically on this issue. During a radio broadcast on Sean Hannity, Congressman Hunter said Bush was surprised only 2.8 miles (of single fence, not double) had been constructed.

There will never be a 1650 mile fence. Far too expensive and a nightmare to maintain.

You could build the fence for the cost of one B-2 bomber. Moreover, your defeatist attitude towards the sovereignty and security of this nation is appalling. I am glad you weren't around telling everyone in 1941 the Pentagon could not be constructed in 18 months because it would be "far too expensive and a nightmare to maintain."

We just need more Border Agents. Fences don't arrest people or track them down.

You mean like the Border Agents who are languishing in jail (one of whom was beaten in prison) because they fired on a drug smuggler and didn't fill out the necessary report about a firearm being used? Those Border Agents? Where do I sign up with this kind of wonderful administration support and backing?

There will never be deportation en masse, so we need to assimilate millions of folks. Call it what you will.

When President Eisenhower got serious about ferreting out illegals, millions went home voluntarily. You just refuse to consider that option because you want to throw your hands in the air and give these lawbreakers (and their extended families that are SURE to follow) amnesty.

We need to stop "pardoning" anyone who is convicted of a crime.

Then tell me, why is there a Pardon at all? It is Constitutional and legal, correct? Lets just get rid of it then. No? The Pardon is in place for circumstances where an injustice has taken place.

will be of no good to anyone to "pardon" him. It will be an embarassment to GW. We do not want that to happen. No pardon for Libby, and there will never be one.

Good gracious! An embarrassment to GW!? Can't let that happen, so lets throw this man in prison for a few years and destroy his life. Have you read anything about the travesty of this case?

I am amazed at post like yours of FR. You make the administration sound selfish and self serving by that previous statement.

Perhaps you are finally right.

It's called AMNESTY!! And I think a grand majority of Americans don't WANT IT!

Good fences make good neighbors...and it would be one heck of a lot CHEAPER to build a fence than assimilation.

Give me a break!

GW is already mired in the teens in poll after poll....The MSM/DBM hate him...and many GOP'ers aren't happy with him. How can he be more embarrassed?

Scooty Libby deserves a pardon...the sentence DOES NOT FIT THE CRIME....
