Safe from...the hordes of illegal aliens streaming across the southern border?
Oh, wait! Bush wanted to offer them all amnesty and even reward them with U.S. citizenship.
As of 2006
Twelve Americans are murdered every day by illegal aliens, according to statistics released by Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa. If those numbers are correct, it translates to 4,380 Americans murdered annually by illegal aliens. That's 21,900 since Sept. 11, 2001...While King reports 12 Americans are murdered daily by illegal aliens, he says 13 are killed by drunk illegal alien drivers – for another annual death toll of 4,745. That's 23,725 since Sept. 11, 2001. (source)
Wanna tell all those dead Americans and lawfully-present foreign nationals how Bush "kept [them] safe"?
Maybe you can tell that to Marine Cpl. Brian Matthews, who was killed by an illegal alien drunk driver in the Maryland suburbs of Washington while home for the holidays in November 2006 (source).
Per Marine Cpl. Garrett Farris, one of Cpl. Matthews' fellow Marines:
"A guy goes to war and has no problems with that. He comes back to the States, and it's supposed to be our safe place."
If Bush was really serious about "keeping us safe," he would have ENFORCED THE LAW and actually DEFENDED OUR SOUTHERN BORDER. Instead, he chose to sit on his hands, like many of his predecessors. Unlike his predecessors, however, he championed MASS AMNESTY replete with rewards like U.S. CITIZENSHIP and THE DREAM ACT, which would have granted illegal alien foreign nationals access to the U.S. financial aid system, in-state tuition at public colleges, and preferential admissions (e.g., affirmative action) ahead of lawfully-present foreign nationals and U.S. citizens.
But hey, Big Business needed its cheap labor. How else do you think they were able to build all those homes which were bought on cheap credit and later bailed out by Bush and Paulson?
appreciate Bush's terms because now we are being bombarded by a bunch of socialism
Socialism...like TARP? The original bailouts and stimulus packages were spearheaded by Bush and Paulson.
Or Medicare Part D. Passed by Bush and a Republican Congress.
And "No Child Left Behind"? The PATRIOT Act? More gross and unconstitutional expansions of Federal power and spending.
You want Socialism and centralized Government? Bush and the Republicans ran like conservatives, but when they got into Washington, ruled like Socialists. Ruled, not governed.
Sadly GWB ruled like a socialist prior to 2004 election, then ran as a conservative in that election, so called conservatives rallied around him(tax cuts yes!!! who cares about spending??) , after winning he quadrupled the socialism each year, and then the act was repeated with McCain in 2008, claiming he was the real Reagan conservative. And conservatives rallied again around McCain. Oh I forgot, Palin was the real candidate not Mccain.
It is obvious you are either a NOBAMA fan or you're having a BAD HAIR DAY, because you would have realized how much better we had it under Bush with all his faults, but your fake conservative BS is sickening.
Don't you ever talk to me again in such a demeaning manner, I find your post offensive and you are nothing but a phony. Take your make believe outrage to DU or someone who cares..Member since 2006...Hahhhhhhhhhh
I know about dead Americans...I was there on 9/11...a cop based out of NYC...I wasn't referring to illegal immigration or anything even close to that...so, get off your high horse and have your reading comprehension checked.
That wasn't the point nor was that brought up by me in any post, because I know more then you think..
Where is the blame on PELOSI and her posse? Bush was forced to alter his agenda when the Congress became PELOSILAND.....you don't think she manipulated anything?
Now tell your story walkin..
