Did I agree with Bush's policies on illegal immigration? No.

You stated that Bush was an honest and principled man who placed the [welfare of the] country above himself or his legacy.

I was merely pointing out that his policies on immigration were anything but honest or principled because they came at a great cost to the country that you claim he valued. His policies on immigration also affected the security of the country because he continually hampered border and interior enforcement despite the attacks that occurred during the first year of his time in office.

I would argue that our current economic condition can be traced directly to Bush's policies and actions during his first term in office.

So, he didn't agree with you on everything. Therefore, he's not perfect.

I'm not talking about perfection. I'm talking about deliberate actions to benefit a small group of people, i.e.: wall street bankers and Mexican illegal aliens, at a great cost to the majority of the American people who must now foot the bill and deal with the fallout of these deliberate actions.

There's probably a few things you and I disagree on, too. So, I guess you're not perfect, either.

I never claimed to be perfect. I'm only pointed out that Bush was not an honest and principled man who valued the [welfare of the] country above himself and used his policies on illegal aliens to illustrate my point.
