Sounds about as credible as "I have no more territorial demands in Europe."

How do I doubt this?


Let me count the ways . . . . . . . . . .

Standing back and assessing the situation is hardly anything new. The feds have been standing back and assessing the situation for decades, that's why we have an estimated 12 million illegals in this country. When you parse Chertoff's comments, all he is saying is that the Bush Administration will continue to carry Vicente Fox's water for him and continue to do nothing about illegal immigration.

I don't think we can have a fence

If not a fence, maybe guarded, armed towers at half mile intervals, with accompanying catapults for re-patriation...

The feds must be getting worried about the restless natives (of the USA). They are blowing more smoke than usual.

LOL!!!! Very funny and very true.

And face it, we've been LUCKY.

I wouldn't categorize the results of actions of the US military as being lucky.

Let me see, how does it go?

1. I love you
2. This won't hurt a bit
3. The check is in the mail
4. I was just going to call you
5. Of course I'll respect you in the morning
6. I'm from the government, and I'm here to help you
7. We're *really* going to stop illegals this time

(yeah, I know I left one out, don't want my post pulled, after all)

"We have decided to stand back and take a look at how we address the problem and solve it once and for all," Chertoff said during a breakfast meeting with reporters.

Nothing new here. Move along.

This means that we need to redouble our efforts. Because these comments mean they are getting concerned about the fallout & want to placate us until we forget, then go back to business as usual.

They know that the average voter has a short attention span. They hope something else will come along and distract us.

Just more bullfeathers, issued by the GOP Hispandering Big Tent, in another attempt to placate the enraged conservative base.

I think a lot of us know that feeling.

Tell you what. You be the one to come to Texas and try to take my land because of a failed federal border policy. Good luck, you will need it.

I have a few questions.

Does your property boundary end on the actual border?
If so, do you have a fence capable of keeping people from crossing your property?
If not, would you accept volunteers onto your property to erect such a barrier or otherwise upgrade what exists at no cost to you?

I respectfully disagree with you--President Bush DESERVES to be bashed on this issue (as well as many others, but especially this one).

No, we're in agreement, as the operative phrase here is "on this issue".

My original response was to a post which appeared to be accusation of being in support of the anti-American bash-Bush crowd, if a direct accusation, a subtle one- which I emphatically am not.

this makes it look even worse, now we're getting into "political season" so rather than doing the right thing at the right time, they're using this as an issue at a political time. while our national security is at stake these IDIOTS ARE USING THIS AS A POLITICAL ISSUE!!!

whether anything will be done remains to be seen but i wont hold my breath
