"This time it really is George Bush's fault. That is not said by way relativism to excuse Barak Obama his dereliction of duty but Bush laid the predicate and granted his successor the political cover needed to let the border stay open so Obama could enroll voters. Just yesterday a film clip was shown on Fox in which George Bush described the opponents of his amnesty plan to be "nativists."

Do tell.
Do you know who originally granted all the wetbacks amnesty?

That's right: Ronald Reagan

Do tell.

Since you feel the need to open our discussion by being snarky, yes I do tell.

I was telling about enforcement and you switched the subject to legislation without revealing your sleight-of-hand to the reader. I complained of "dereliction of duty" which permits Obama to "let the border stay open" you contrasted my complaints about Bush's failure to police the border to the bipartisan legislation which Ronald Reagan signed. Ronald Reagan was wrong to sign that bill but his motives were to clean up the immigration problem not to open the floodgates. Both Bush and Obama wish to do the latter. Both Bush and Obama resort to demagoguery to justify their desires.

Bush laid the predicate for failure to enforce the border. Ronald Reagan laid a predicate in signing a very bad immigration bill with the very best of intentions to finally put stop to uncontrolled immigration, which is an entirely different matter
