If he were serious, border control would have been job one after 9/11/01, if not before. By definition he can't be serious about illegal immigration, if in the 6th year of his presidency he only made this speech to quiet his conservative critics. I know what he said. It was just words. The national guardsmen, who should be resuming their jobs and normal lives, might spend some token time freeing up immigration agents, but Pres. Bush's heart is where it has been these 5 1/2 years that he's been setting the agenda. The results will be no different than if he hadn't made the speech.
I mailed all of you the full text of the speech a couple of hours ago.
