The only way to get Bush to wake up about the illegals is for a terrorist to cross the border with the Mexicans and explode a dirty bomb in the middle of Dallas.
What 9/11 has taught us is that American politicians react to disasters, and until something horrific happens in our southern cities nothing will happen with illegal immigration.

The politicos won't give a damn until a nice big liberal city on the East or West Coast gets vaporized. The hix in the stix of flyover country are expendable in the eyes of the media, but watch them howl when their own backyard is glowing. So I doubt that nuking a Red Zone place like Dallas would be a sufficient b*tch-slap for a lot of people.

What was that lesson of 09/11 again? The lesson was that it indeed takes an act of terrorism to get laws to change. Okay so far. Unfortunately those laws are always directed at Mr. and Mrs. law abiding citizen.
Oh sure they make great speaches about stopping terrorism, then write laws that get my wife strip searched at airports and terrorists allowed to enter the nation at will.
Who gets photographed in public places? 99.999% of these images are of citizens.
Who has a file on them inches thick at our national security agencies? Mr. and Mrs. Citizen are the ones. Terrorists still enter the nation with our national security agencies taking months before they say, "Whoops!"
Fourteen states allow illegals to get driver's licences. Whoops! Fourteen states allow those drivers licenses to anchor illegals to all sort of in-state and federal aid programs. Fourteen states provide a document which allows illegals to obtain a number of driver's licenses under different names each of which will allow them to board an aircraft.
Gotta love those lessons of 09/11, OKC, TWA-800, The 1993 WTC bombing. We take it in the shorts every time.
