No one that I know of ever thought Bush would “actively” pursue open border policies with Mexico and push for the Amnesty of millions of illegal alien lawbreakers, especially after 9/11. This will NOT BE FORGOTTEN by us 3 months from now or even 3 years from now.
Reforming our out of control immigration policies is of critical importance to us here and most of us are basing our votes on a candidate’s record and positions on immigration. And the reason why this issue will not fade away is that our immigration “free for all” has reached the crisis stage in many areas of the country and it will only spread and worsen in the absence of any strong counter measures--which are totally lacking at this time. Laugh us off if you want. Immigration reform will be “the” defining issue for more and more Americans in the months and years ahead.
