"Other than borders he has not disappointed me."

- I agree that the border matter is looming as a big issue in 2008, but what the hell kind of draconian measures do you take against an estimated 20 million illegals that would not lose the latino vote for the next 50 years in much the same way that the Republican lost the blacks back in the 60's?
I am more anxious that between now and the end of his term, Bush get the Social Security reforms through and reign in the RINO's on their spending spree. Those two issues plus if he can pull off the Iraq democratization process, the elimination of the leftist tilt in the Supreme Court and frustrate Iran and North Korea's in their nuclear ambitions he would leave a legacy almost as great as Reagan's.
He's taken steps on all these issues but it just needs a final push before the end of 2006 to achieve the goals.
We must be patient. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Having lived in an area with Hispanics that have been citizens for generations you do not run the risk of alientating them. They are against Spanish being mandatory in schools and other PC rules put in place. They being Americans just as you and I understand the problem and its ramifications.

He can address Social Security and taxes, but I bet he can clean up the border issue with relative ease.

Accept current illegals as here to stay for the most part, but at least control the borders. At the same time reform immigration laws and make it a little less of a battle to immigrate legally. IOW, stop the bleeding.
