Relax, one thing at a time. You have to plug the hole in the boat before you start bailing the water.

Tell that to Sean Penn:

It's got more credibility on this issue than any administration in recent memory. But it doesn't stop people like you from hyperventilating.

No, it doesn't. Please read and understand the following statistics and analysis before making a claim like that again. (Stats from the DHS 2004 Yearbook of Immigration Statistics, Analysis is mine.)

Employer Investigation Efforts of U.S. Immigration Authorities:

Fiscal Year Worksite Arrests Notices of Intent to Fine
1993 7,630 1,302
1994 7,554 1,063
1995 10,014 1,056
1996 14,164 1,019
1997 17,554 865
1998 13,914 1,023
1999 2,849 417
2000 953 178
2001 735 100
2002 485 53
2003 445 162
2004 159 3

The average annual worksite arrests under Clinton was 9,329 arrests. The average annual worksite arrests under President Bush is 456. This is a 95 percent reduction in average annual worksite arrests under President Bush.

The average annual notices of intent to fine employers of illegal aliens under Clinton was 865. The average under President Bush is 79.5. This is a 90 percent reduction in average annual notices of intent to fine employers of illegal aliens.

And then there is 2004 where, under President Bush, only 3 notices of intent to fine employers of illegal aliens were done. 3!! But that was President Bush's worst year. Let's compare best years then.

Under Clinton his best year for Worksite Arrests was 1997 with 17,554 reported. President Bush's best year was 2001 with 735 worksite arrests reported. This is a 99.7 percent reduction in worksite arrests under President Bush when comparing best years.

Clinton Presidency, Total Aliens Expelled:
1993 1,285,952
1994 1,074,781
1995 1,364,688
1996 1,643,108
1997 1,555,116
1998 1,743,273
1999 1,755,754
2000 1,861,933
Total over 8 years: 12,284,605
Average Annual Total Aliens Expelled: 1,535,575

Bush Presidency, Total Aliens Expelled:
2001 1,432,061
2002 1,084,661
2003 1,076,483
2004 1,238,319
Total over 4 years: 4,831,524
Average Annual Total Aliens Expelled: 1,207,881

The average annual total of aliens expelled under President Bush is 327,694 LESS than the average under President Clinton. That is a 21.3 percent reduction in aliens expelled compared between Clinton and President Bush.

Deportable Aliens located in non-border sectors (interior enforcement):
Clinton presidency, last four years:
1997 44,246
1998 39,096
1999 42,010
2000 32,759
Total: 158,111

Bush presidency, first four years:
2001 30,496
2002 25,501
2003 26,492
2004 21,113
Total: 103,602

Total deportable aliens located in interior sectors during the first four years of the Bush presidency represents a 34.4 percent drop compared to the previous four years - the last four years of the Clinton presidency.

Deportable Aliens Located:
Clinton Presidency first four years:
1993 1,327,261
1994 1,094,719
1995 1,394,554
1996 1,649,986
Total: 5,466,520

Clinton Presidency last four years:
1997 1,536,520
1998 1,679,439
1999 1,714,035
2000 1,814,729
Total: 6,744,723

Bush Presidency first four years:
2001 1,387,486
2002 1,062,279
2003 1,046,422
2004 1,241,089
Total: 4,737,276

Total deportable aliens located dropped by 29.7 percent in the first four years of the Bush Presidency compared to the previous four years - the last four years of the Clinton Presidency.

Just to fool you in '06.

Bush is doggedly determined that everyone who wants in gets in no matter the law.

We've been using the Coast Guard for 25 years to keep freedom loving Cubans from coming into Florida.

Since it's an invasion, I think the US Military should be on the border until a fence like Israel built is completed.

Why haven't the individual states Governer's deployed their National Guards? They are empowered with that right.

Ans: They would rather have the federal government do it to protect their political career's. Let Bush take the hit...and he will, just wait until the DMSM gets rolling with this idea.

The MinuteMen caravan arrived in Washington this morning.

Across from them were a small group of protesters who were yelling: "No one is illegal, Minutemen are evil."

My comment in another thread:

Well, isn't that wonderful. They come here illegally invading our sovereignty, and they call good American citizens, grouped in the tradition that formed this great Nation, evil.

The govt has been taking bids for the Secure Border Initiative net (SBInet). Maybe he'll mention it.

SBInet is the program component of the Strategic Border Initiative (SBI)
assigned to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that is responsible for
integrating personnel, infrastructure, technologies, and rapid response capability into a comprehensive border protection system.

By combining existing investments and current security infrastructure with state- of-the-art technologies, best practices, and creative thinking, SBInet will provide the blueprint for integrating critical border security components in order to protect the United States borders.

"Would that be the Mexican border, the Canadian border, the Kentucky/Virginia border, what?"

I could tell you some of the jokes about Carolinians and Virginians, but heck, I doubt this will ever happen.

See post #97:

Whenever—

(1) the United States, or any of the Territories, Commonwealths, or possessions, is invaded or is in danger of invasion by a foreign nation;

snip

the President may call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard of any State in such numbers as he considers necessary to repel the invasion

However, I do not want to hear talk of a guest worker program until we have improved border security to significant extent. And that sentiment is shared by other conservatives who want either amnesty or a guest worker program - any legislation dealing with illegals already here is doomed to failure until we have a reasonable level of border security.

We got fooled last time (1986) with the promises of better enforcement when the amnesty was pushed through. We won't get fooled again. Secure the borders, prove that they will remain secure, enforce interior immigration laws, demonstrate a radical drop in the population of illegal aliens in the U.S. and a radical increase in the number of employers fined or jailed for committing the felony of having hired illegal aliens (that won't be hard to do given the current dismal enforcement), and then and only then come back and see if the mood is right for a "guest worker program". This will take years.

It was the conservative pipe dream before the fence talk started dominating the discussion.

My conservative pipe dream is for the talk of a guest-worker plan to be shelved until we see some results from new efforts to secure the border.
