Don't just blame Clinton and Bush.

Clinton? Reagan?

President Bush has done nothing but wink nod while panding to millions of illegals. It doesn't matter a wit what any other Presidents may or may not have done.

The problem is here now, and from what I read and see, President Bush has no desire to stop this ever escalating attack on our borders and our sovereignty.

President Bush doesn't even mention the words, "illegal alien" let alone do anything about the most dangerous threatening crisis facing the United States....

The problem could have been solved on 9/12/2001...

Bush did nothing...

Tells you sonething, eh?

"It doesn't matter a wit what any other Presidents may or may not have done."

Of course it matters what the long standing past policy has been.

Don't get me wrong. I want something done. I'm just against pouncing on Bush, and ignoring what has gone before. Reagan is idolized, yet he didn't solve it.

I'm a 55 year old native of SoCal, which gives me some living experience with the situation.

I recall reading a good analysis, which concluded that BOTH parties have interests in preserving the status quo. The article further concluded that elected politicians are OUT OF TOUCH with the citizenry, on the severity of illegal immigration.

I think that Bush is comfortable with the Texas version, where the benefits are lower. The overall numbers are lower.

If the economy is good, many people don't really want to make waves. If the economy is bad, it draws attention to immigration.

That is my analysis of the last decade or so.
