I think the president has a soft spot in his heart for the people of Mexico. Otherwise he would understand that this whole argument is not about immigration. There people trying to enter this country legally from all over the world. No one is saying we don’t want legal immigrants. What we don’t want is open borders.

I also understand that there will be some very unpleasant results to any attempt to get the illegals to return to their own countries. I can see a depressed housing market getting even worse, and with 20 million people going home, there is bound to be a depressed economy for the short term.

But what the president doesn’t seem to understand is that we are in the middle of a war on terror. Our enemies know that for whatever reason, we have no desire to protect our borders. They are exploiting this and they will continue to do so until we realize the importance of defending our country. Unfortunately, it may take another disaster on the order of 911 to wake our government.

This is what disturbs me so much about the president’s stand on the border. His job as Commander in Chief is to defend the United States from invasion. We are in the middle of a war which he has chosen to fight on one front, but he has left our border flank completely exposed. Now, people don’t believe the war is real because he doesn’t really seem serious about defending us.

Either his handlers have purposely explained the situation to him incorrectly or he himself has decided to paint this as pro-immigration versus anti-immigration. Whatever the situation, right now someone has decided to put business interests ahead of the defending our country and the war on terror. I think that is a mistake.

Actually, he believes he is Commander in Chief of the Globalist NAU. Therefore, an invasion from Mexico (a member of the NAU) is not an 'invasion'. Neither would an invasion from Canada be an 'invasion'. His actions all make sense when you view him as the 3rd President of the Globalists NAU. As far as fighting in Iraq, he is there to support the globalist structure of which he represents the NAU. The Islamists are an enemy of the NAU primarily because the NAU includes the American Republic. So sometimes the interests of Americans will coincide with the interests of the NAU. Most of the time however, they will diverge. That explains GWB in a nutshell.

Right if hes pro-immigration.. make a plan to increase the number of legal immigrants we bring in. And or change the mix of immigrants we let in from mainly based on family.. to mainly based on economic factors. For example prioritize a bright young foreigner applying for citizenship, with her entire working career ahead of her, over an elderly family member.
