The fact is, our border with Mexico is the number one problem confronting this nation with regard to illegal border crossings. Further, those border crossings are not limited to Mexican citizens. Middle-eastern, Chinese, south-American, European and other groups have been identified coming across our southern border. And as such, we should enforce the worst of the worst when it come to our border problems.

At least one individual has been documented coming across our southern border, traveling to Chicago, and doing his best to become connected to other like minded individuals in order to carry out a terrorist act on U.S. soil.

Yet Hutchison had the gall to assert that the reason that interior enforcment is not a high priority because of terrorist threats, as shown by Tom Ridge's announcement today.

Sack him. Sack him yesterday.

Asa and Ridge should both be sacked!

I certainly lean your direction regarding sacking Hutchison, but let's face it, as long as the directives from the top remain the same, nothing will change no matter who they put in.

Article Four Section Four of the Constitution of the United States of America states that the President 'must' protect the states from invasion. As such our current president is failing his oath of office.

Once again, we find ourselves in a no-win situation at election time. Our choices are dumb or dumberer, with regard to this issue and others.

It is true that Boxer and Feinstein have sworn an oath to that same constituion, but where does the buck stop, with them? Is that the case we wish to make as conservatives?

I will vote for Bush this fall, but I'm going to be honest about this and other issues when they come up. Even those who claim to be on our side are failing us, pure and simple.
