"We've got to secure our borders." Jorge Bush"

As I sit here this morning listening to him speak while preparing to sign this bill, I wonder how many other Americans are absolutely astonished to what lengths he will go to defend this country from terrorism, all the while leaving our borders wide open to the terrorists.

The insanity of it boggles the mind. But what's worse is that there are those who refuse to question anything he does, even though the security of our country is at stake. Instead they are angry with those of us that do.

Has he even signed that 2nd bill for the fence yet?

I agree totally. It's confusing...this Republican Administration/Congress has done nothing to prevent/deport these criminals, but passes laws almost on a monthly basis designed to inhibit the American citizen.

Ha! It'll never happen, Jorge is in the corporations that support these criminals pocket's so deep, I'll be suprised if he ever sees the light of day again!

Especially when you consider the following. We currently have about 11,000 Border Patrol agents. We are spending $1B per day in Iraq. Let's say we hired 10,000 new Border Patrol agents, the very best people we could find, and paid them all $100K per year ($385 per day for a 5-day work week). The cost of those new agents amounts to $3.85M per day, which equals 0.39% of what we spend in Iraq per day. Yet our borders remain wide open. The amount of new agents is a trickle at best. Worst of all, we have a President insulting every American with lines like "doing the jobs Americans don't want to do" and expressing thinly-veiled desires for an amnesty plan. Not exactly what I call conservative or smart.
