Rove misrepresents some facts in that video.
He wants credit for apprehending more border crossers, but never mentions how many they have missed and allowed across. He never reveals when they began to increase border arrests.
He says, in Dec 2006, that they are building a fence with all those features he talks about, but fails to mention that the fence bill had just passed a few months before that, and construction on the fence had not yet begun.
He wants credit for large raids on companies hiring illegals, but fails to mention that they did all that only after being forced to do so by a massive outpouring of public opinion against their previous record of very little prosecution of companies hiring illegals for the first six years of the administration.
No, I don’t trust Karl Rove to accurately assess the feasibility of securing the border. To Rove’s assertion that we cannot secure the border, I say, “Nuts!” More than that, I say, “Yes, we can.”
To your charge of xenophobia, I say, “Prove it.”
Maybe, you just have.
