You are absolutely right! The federal government as well as the State of Arizona, and the media should be indicted for murder for encouraging illegal border crossings.
As a resident of Arizona, I can't emphazize enough how all of these things combined lure thousands of illegals to put their lives at risk.
If the Democrats want the Senate, all they have to do is run on a platform for enforceing the immigration laws. I would vote for them in a second. Of course the Republicans could too, but it wouldn't be PC, so I'm not counting on it. We all know how stiff their spines are.
Kennedy's father fabricated the tale of the PT109. Most of the crew admitted after the rescue they expected to be court marshalled for losing their boat in such a stupid manner. The Kennedy clan needed a hero's tale and this is best they could come up with.
Why is this even being considered? Is Bush that eagar to crap on the ones who supported him. This get him nothing as far as new voters go. How many illegals can vote - opps don't answer that question. Immigration and border security are a litmus test for me. This goes through and I'm through with the Republicans.
This step is 20 years overdue. The people of Arizona have been begging the politicians for years for some protection from the Mexican criminals who routinely murder, run drugs and steal cars in this State. Maybe now we'll see some action.
