Where the hell is Ridge? Isn't he supposed to be the head of "Homeland Security"? GW's post-9-11 national security feel-good session is in serious need of a reality check. I would feel a lot better if Ridge was busy under cover rooting out illegal immigrants (terrorists included), but this would of course be a joke.

In fact, IMO, GW's entire Homeland Security program is a farce. For example, since 9-11, how many pilots are armed? How many additional border guards have been placed? ow else has our border security been enhanced? Of course Afghanistan and Iraq have been briliant campaigns (until the time that the idiot PC police took over), but when are we going to do something about OUR BORDER SECURITY? Without this, everything else GW does is nothing but perfume on a pig.

More than before.

Can't say, exactly. But it's better. Don't mess with Texas.

If I remember correctly it was reported a few days ago that 1000 pilots have been through the process and are armed. More are in the pipeline.

It must really bother you that the President doesn't give you briefings on every single thing he does.

Neither does the Border Patrol, FAA, Customs, FBI, CIA, Homeland Security etc.

My ex-husband is a federal agent and they have been making MAJOR changes in all areas that they don't announce to the world.

I know of several border protection policies that are NOT public knowledge. These are new. (no, I cannot tell you.)

Just because no one told you doesn't mean they don't exist.

The people who enjoy the cheap labor of these mobs of illegals must be one potent lobby
