I don't care if he actually puts troops on the border in a dug-in position. I'll will support that, of course, but it certainly would not make me warm up to his legislative proposal.
I am beyond following W.'s leadership whatsoever on this issue. If part of his proposal strikes me as good, I will support that part of it.
But it is strictly SECURE THE BORDERS ~FIRST~. Until that is done, I will not listen to anything else. And I mean seal it with a permanent barrier.
And sealing the border must be accompanied with furious law enforcement to prevent millions more trying to catch the last bus before the border closes.
After security, then we can talk about illegals already here. And that sure as heck does not mean that I am willing to accept everyone who is already here and, especially, not to offer them the chance to bring every relative they can find to join them.
Xacly.
