Thanks. Did I see correctly that you said that 20% of the BP is stationed in Iraq? I've seen where 1,000 agents total, about 10%, are stationed overseas, but not a figure as high as 20% for Iraq alone. Do you have a source?

But it is pretty easy to roboticaly jump all over someone who *dares* to *question* President Bush's policies, when you don't really have anything or anyone to lose isn't it?

Uh all of us have somebody who is dear to us to lose everyday, from what could be a mechanically rampant bus, to a military casualty, to a meteor or to an accident going through a window.

My point is to appreciate those loved ones every day and not try to make crass political points for your pet agenda.

-Not surprisingly, there is very little *point* in your "point".

The subject of this thread is about strengthening our border patrol in order to protect our citizens from gang bangers, drug runners, and possible terrorists who would attempt to enter our country and do us harm...

It's not about transportation safety or meteorological events.

Yes, I already saw that one, and I have never seen you make a statement like that.

Take care, and have a good weekend.

I may be wrong, but I pretty sure close to 2 thousand Agents are assigned to the Iraq mission.

You'll have to excuse me, but I spent enough time during the Clinton administration watching people parse words. I've had it up to here with the Lanny Davises, the Ann Lewises, the Barney Franks et all. When someone claims that 70% of the people on this forum hold certain views, in the face of a either or question that leaves no room for the parsers, I'm going to have my say about it.

You can try to translate English into English for the rest of us all you like, but it's not going to mitigate the under 11% that prefered a guest worker program vs an 85% that prefered our laws be enforced.

That poll was 85 to 11% against a guest worker program. Just how lopsided does it have to be for people like you and the nameless to comprehend the truth of it?

Thanks for the comments, but you and I stridently disagree reagarding the implications of the only poll that asked folks dead blank what they prefered, either or.

Absolutely. Too bad more Americans are not passionate about saving America.

I think most Americans are passionate about saving America. The problem is our President is not. He runs the show.

This whole situation has me totally perplexed. While I know we don't know all the behind-the-scenes details, what we DO SEE IS NOT GOOD. AT ALL.

Mexico pushes for continental integration

This came from another article posted by Happy2BMe. People don't want to believe this and are living in denial, or protecting George Bush. Either way it spells doom for the United States. Bush is giving Fox everything he wants, and more. Fox wants the USA to buy him out of poverty by sending millions upon millions of his citizens to America to be cared for. Bush seems more than willing to destroy America in order to give Fox a good night's sleep.

But WHY? Why is Bush doing this to this country???
I still cannot rationally reason this out. It goes against every general principle he SAID he stood for, as well as the oath he took as President.

I think we are living in a time when America will no longer be known as a sovereign nation, but will become one union with Canada, Mexico and South America. Conservatives on FR scream to hear that but honestly, when Fox himself lets the cat out of the bag - as he has done many times in the past, many supporters of Bush just ignore it. They are living in denial because they have put so much hope and love into George Bush's presidency, they can't allow themselves to believe the truth about his actions and motives on open borders.

Bush and his family are very much into bringing America into one great political union. And in my opinion, he is being true to his beliefs.

And if this is the reality of it, which seems like the only reasonable explanation, THEN WHY CAN'T HE DO IT OPENLY, HONESTLY, AND WITHOUT UNDERMINING OUR CONSTITUTION, OUR LAWS, AND OUR TRUST ??? There is alot of bad stuff in this situation. HE DOES OWN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AN EXPLANATION, and soon.

The other bad component in this, is that again if this is the case, then BEING A DEMOCRACY, WITH A REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT, such actions are not taken as if this country is being run by a single person with a single agenda --- there is just too much wrong with this whole picture.

Yeah, you're right. Some in Congress oppose open borders and its consequences, but it's doubtful they will make much head way in keeping the country sovereign. Once the illegals begin to vote, God help us. And I think that thought remains uppermost in the minds of our present politicians. (Otherwise known as the FEAR of being ousted, by not giving illegal what they want.)

We've already seen what our corrupt Judicial system has brought on us. Can you imagine a Congress as corrupt as the Judges?
