Bush and others allowed the problem to grow and it's just unforgivable given the events of 9/11 and what that day should have taught us about the absolute necessity of national security, events that he himself reminded us of continually.
He did. However, until the Right is honest about Regan's role in massively increasing illegal immigration and creating the policies that have killed so many American jobs in favor of overseas workers, then I have no respect for any whining so-called real conservatives do on the issue.
