placate the enraged conservative base It will take SERIOUS ACTION, not more BS. The GOP's dwindling conservative base won't be as easily placated this time because they're fed up with Bush's "compassionate conservatism".

Everyone on the board can voice their displeasure on this issue by sending Jim Gilchrist some money. He is running to replace Chris Cox out here in The OC.

"compassionate conservatism" is a misnomer, as conservatism is already compassionate.

Couldn't help but notice that you've been laying low since you publish this ...
If they don't do anything, people complain, now that they are starting to address the problem and do something, instead of applauding, that better late than never, you are screaming your head off and criticizing.
I'd be hiding too if I'd published that little gem.
In the past three years not only has the problem gotten dramatically worse under Bush's administration but it has principally been Bush's own personal pronouncements that has created the slippery slope. Not only have Bush's pronouncements given hope to Mexico's poor, which has fueled the rush north but his attitudes now leave most to conclude that he'll "solve" the problem by accepting all who can make it.
Tom Ridge presided over one of the largest economic assaults against our country by a foreign government in our nation's history. In the past three years illegal immigration from Mexico has bankrupted California and threatens the availability of a social safety net in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Mexico's policy encouraging illegal emigration into the US threatened the economic stability of our republic and Ridge did absolutely nothing to stop it.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, acknowledging public frustration over illegal immigration, said Tuesday that the federal government's detention and deportation catch and release system must be fundamentally restructured.

YAWN! Yeah, that's what they said in 1986. They're just trying to keep from getting burned on this issue next year.
But they WILL get burned, because they WON'T do anything, and the illegals will just KEEP COMING.
Until we make the politicians PAY...GRIEVOUSLY... for winking at this invasion for so long.

After a long established history of deliberate indifference to this problem, I'll need more than wind to convince me. You took the words right out of my mouth.
To: QQQQQ
I KNOW I am not alone in this but I am suspecting that the "solve it once and for all" statement means they are going to ram through a "guest worker/amnesty" plan and call THAT a solution, as in: "presto, no more 'illegal' aliens, now they're all here with our blessings! Everyone, comeonINNNN!" I don't have any faith in President Bush to represent the American people on this (the majority, at least, who do not support, want or desire a "guest worker" and/or "amnesty" program under any other name) (or either because they are synonymous regardless of what Bush says about both/either), and I am fearful that whatever his actions will be on this issue will ensure greater illegal aliens under a different terminology. And I voted for Bush, just to be clear.

Yeah, my sentiments, exactly.
I get the dreaded feeling that the D.C. idea of "solution" will be spending more of those billions from Bush's Transportation bill to build yet another large "corridor" to and from Mexico...thus, problem of any barricade solved! No barricade! Open access! ComeonIIINNNNNN!

People on the other side will find some way to abuse those "critter holes," as in, pushing through bombs, incindiaries, whatever. If the "Mexican" threat is to ugly-up the Mexican side of a wall with uglyolegraffitti (who cares), then they'll be looking for other means to vandalize, to state the obvious.
Interesting that they'd resent a wall and not express years of gratitude for all the free stuff.
