Nope. It's not a defense of anyone, just a statement of empirical fact.
Illegal immigration is a gigantic problem that needs to be fixed soon. But placing all of the blame at President Bush's feet is disingenuous.
I'm not laying all of the blame for the problem on Bush. I'm laying all of the blame for allowing it to continue, even encouraging it with talk of "amnesty". You said it yourself, it needs fixing soon. Well? W is the man in charge. All he has to do is enforce the law as it is now written. He's had 3 years to get going. But I guess I'm not supposed to be critical of His Highness. After all, those illegals will be voting soon (if not already), and their votes are more important than mine right? I mean where else can I go with my vote, right? As another freeper just wrote. I'm supposed to just shut up and pay the bills. No criticism is allowed, otherwise one of those dirty dems might get in. Well, I've got news for W and the party. They'd better $%$# or get off the pot. My vote is not to be taken for granted, now, or ever.
