Yeah, sure. Left to its own wishes, the Bush administration will do a slow motion mock immigration enforcement, full of publicity and promises, but with only a small number of highly visible deportations. Since there is no promise or intention to protect the border, we can expect the flow of illegals into the country to be little abated.
Team Bush has barely begun to wake to the political peril that they have opened for themselves and the Republican party. The loss of Congress is possible in 2006 or in 2008, with a loss of the Presidency as well. And a major domestic terrorist incident that implicated the Bush administration's lax border security would likely result in a major and potentially successful impeachment effort.
For the slower students in the class, imagine the effect of several hundred dead Americans, leaving behind grieving relatives camped out in several locations demanding Bush's impeachment for failing to secure the borders. Do you think the media might hype the effort? Or would they even need to for a decisive slice of the Republican electorate to abandon Bush?
