Before we seriously think of attacking Saddam, we should first secure our borders and deport illegals. We are in a new type of warfare. Daily the enemy is infiltrating into this country. It's from within that an attack will come.

Bush has done nothing much to secure our boders and to deport the illegals (he actually talked about amnesty!). He hasn't even fought for his court nominees.

Ho-boy, another Bush-bashing thread!

(We'll see how long it stays.)

Agreed. Invading Iraq (or any other country) for "national security" is a farce when our open borders are a nightmare and responsible for an unarmed invasion of peasants that are quickly breaking apart this country. I can't even walk down the street in my NJ town anymore in the middle of the day without getting "eyeballed" by an illegal Mexican, and it is not a pleasant experience. (They're new where I am --I don't recognize my town from what it was only 10 years ago.) I wish more than anything that NJ allowed concealed carry.

Illegal immigration has turned me against Bush as well. (What does it say in the Bible, "Do not the rich persecute you?") Sad to say, I voted for him, prayed for him during the Floriduh fiasco, and now feel jaded. I used to think he was a morale man, but he and the other RINOs are as corrupt as the Democrats. We taxpayers are bleeding to death, and no one cares that our hospitals, infrastructure, schools, jails, etc. are literally collapsing due to the illegal invasion and this pimping for ethnic votes by both parties. And now these illegals are going to get driver's licenses and college tuition discounts as well. Any well-meaning Christian (which Bush professes to be) would not tolerate this kind of injustice thrown on his own people he has sworn to defend. Spare me his tears during the 9/11 ceremonies -- sorry, but he is as irresponsible as the father who leaves his house unlocked at night, and then looks away and claims no responsibility when learning at daybreak that his children have been kidnapped.

But then, Bush has nothing to worry about since he has life-long Secret Service protection on his Texas acreage, so he will never have to worry about vandalism, his family being harmed or raped when they walk on his property, or a forest fire destroying his property that was started by a "well-meaning" illegal who just wants to come to America to feed his family.//sarcasm

I didn't know that the Border Patrol was ordered to keep quiet about the American agent who was killed by the Mexican. (That is a tactic I would expect from Hitlery's administration -- not Bush's.) And that other story Tancredo talks about here -- the nun who was raped and killed by the illegal Mexican who had already been deported, and then snuck back in -- this should have made front page news. But then our corrupt media is just as anxious to destroy this country as our government.

I agree we need do more domestically to secure our borders now, but that look how long that is going to take when you considering our congress and president Bush's behavior. If we don't remove Saddam soon, the we will not only be hunting terrorists learning to fly airplanes, but also terrorists sneaking in Iraqi nuclear devices.

The key to secure borders doesn't stop at the water's edge.
