"failed to secure the border"

Neither did Reagan. I suppose Reagan was a failure too, huh?

Reagan went in with good intentions, Bush wanted to quadruple down on known failure.

Not only that, Amnesty for the Mexican government's illegal aliens was, bar none, the single domestic issue Bush worked hardest and longest on.

Conservatives and strong Republicans were unhappy about many things Bush did, but stuck with him until his pushes for "comprehensive" amnesty while disparaging his base voters beliefs. Working to ram amnesty down our throats was Bush's "bridge too far".
