Of course politics is a snake pit/ dirty/ whatever you care to call it; always has been, from the dawn of time right through the founding of this nation and down to today. Whoever said otherwise ? And as far as your one item obsession, dear, dream on. What you crave is impossible for many reasons. It's the same old siren song, though, that the NIMBYs have ALWAYS and EVER screamed out here; only to fail.
Do I want ALL illegals caught/ stopped and deported ? Of course I do ! Is that within the realm of the possible ? Not now and probably not ever.
OTOH, not once, NOT ONCE , have I , or YOU ever heard President Bush say that our borders are wide open , everyone come on in. Do at least attempt to be rational and factual. Please ?
