Here is what bothers me about the whole immigration fiasco, we forget that it was started by two Dimm governors who declared a state of emergency in their states. I believe that it was a planned effort to turn the base against Bush and the Hispanic vote against the GOP after seeing how the Bush family went after the Hispanic vote. They knew where we were going to land on the issue and that Bush was going to go the other way.
At the same time, it was an issue that needed to be addressed, but when it comes to the border and the WOT, regardless of what is going on at the border, Bush and this administration has done one hell of a job protecting us from another attack. For every one attack they tell us they have prevented, their is probably 10 we don't hear about.
The government isn’t capable of doing two things at once?
“regardless of what is going on at the border, Bush and this administration has done one hell of a job protecting us from another attack.”
You know about “required” and “elective” course in college?
It’s the same thing here. Protecting the border, the states, and the American people is a “required course” for any President. There is no higher duty.
Showing compassion, taking people “out of the shadows”, providing amnesty to lawbreakers, these are all “electives”. Take ‘em or not, it doesn’t really matter. But George Bush has spent an inordinate and puzzling amount of effort on his “electives” of late.
We shall hope and pray that he hasn’t already failed and received an “F” in border protection, one of his “required” courses.
