Sadly, President Bush's failure to secure the borders is undermining his position WRT the NSA surveillence issue. IOW, he says that he is required by the Constitution to protect us against terrorists, but he refuses to take the needed actions to secure our borders against invasion.

Cherry picking which threats to act on does not lend credibility to his position. It really doesn't.

I am a long time Bush supporter, but I gotta call a spade a spade.

Sadly, President Bush's failure to secure the borders is undermining his position

It also undermines his position on issues like Social Security. Why should we reduce entitlements to our own citizens; if we are still willing to pay hundreds of billions to support enormous numbers of Mexico's citizens. Shouldn't we take care of our own first; and, shouldn't we give priority to those who have actually paid into our system.

I think the Border Issue may become Bush's al-Queda. What I mean is Clinton refused to accept al-Q's throwing down the gauntlet, declaring war and attacking us repeatedly, so Bush inherited 9-11. If we don't get whacked across the border before Bush gets out, the terror and lawlessness that exists there right now may spread and turn into an even bigger problem than al-Q.
