Can someone please explain Bush's apparent lack of logic on border control?

We knew his policy on this issue well before the election. I can't really fathom anyone's surprise. It's not like he lied to the people. He said he wanted amnesty, and that is what he is pursuing.

What did everyone expect? If he's a man of his word, he's a man of his word, and he promised to pursue amnesty.

Yeah, we were given the choice of bad (Bush) or worse (Kerry).

But he acts like we gave him a mandate for this stuff when he only mentioned it twice during the campaign because every time he did, the reaction was so negative. Actually I should correct myself. He only mentioned it twice in English prior to the election. He continued to advertise it in Spanish on his website.

It is one thing to say he is for letting them come here for jobs, it is another to call citizens that help monitor the border (and do not interact with the illegals) as vigilanties.

Why is he pushing this on us??? Can you explain what is the reason for it? Every single statistic that I have seen is that it is costing us Billions, but business is getting a break in cheap labor. Bush is becoming an enemy and I only put himn one step above Kerry.

I am beginning to believe that he patterend himself after Bill Clinton's successful campaign style.

Define yourself as the savior of all the things they can't live without, and then stir in an equal measure of things they can't live with.

Sounds d*mn near satanic, doesn't it?

Yup. No surprises, just a consistant disappointment.

Of course, Kerry didn't just want to amnest illegals, he wanted to make 'em citizens...

You know d*mn well he never said that and has said on numerous occasions that amnesty is not the solution as all it does is cause more illegal immigration. Of course the Bush haters on this site could care less for the facts and would rather just attack and flame.

You can't? Just what kind of conservative are you? This stands against every principle held by conservatives since inception. The man is a fraud, and he has refused to honor his oath of office and the law of the land. He is willing to sacrifice our security and our soveriegnty for personal gain. He has imposed the enormous public cost of caring for tens of millions of illegal mexican citizens upon us.

The Republican party has become just another association of self serving socialist elites. Willing to sacrifice American Citizens for their illegal house maids and a few votes.

Vicente Fox must have some nice videos of Bush in his younger years. He is certainly able to manage him like a puppeteer.
