If you read the whole article it looks like this is phase I on closing the borders? The Bush MO is to do things in small steps !
Maybe, but closing the borders after more than 10 million illegals have already arrived callls to mind a certain barn and missing horses.
I am not especially impressed by measures lilke the implementaion of biometric technology and national ID cards, while willfully continuing to fail to deport the illegals.
If I'm going to give up some of my privacy, I'd like to see the real alien and terrorist problems actually adressed.
The security measures at our borders and airlines taken since 9/11 are window-dressing. The government in many ways has failed to be serious about the Terror War on the domestic front.
"Mark S. Krikorian, executive director of the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies, which argues for reduced immigration, said the elements of Bush's plan were not bad but were not enough."
Well, you can't say GW isn't doing anything. Give him some time.
OK, flame away! LOL.
You are so right on every point, thanks.
