This just goes way beyond stupidity. If GWB doesn't get a handle on the situation at our borders, it'll be the end of him politically after the next attack. The GWB / Asa Hutchinson / Tom Ridge dog and pony show he's running now just doesn't cut it.
The Bush open border policy makes me feel so much more secure.
But haven't you heard? People only cross the porous U.S.-Mexico border so that they can do "Jobs Americans won't do".
Anyone who disagrees with erasing the border is a 'nativist restrictionist Xenophobe isolationist!
So there! :-D

My Congress Citter. I can't believe it. Solomon Ortiz actually got mentioned in an article posted on Free Republic. A year or two ago, Rush singled him out for ridicule (well deserved), but Ortiz almost never makes any news not even in his own congressional district. He's been in Congress ever since the reapportionment in 1982.
Just wonderful

These idiots sat on their butts since 911, and now they are running around in complete chaos......Why am I still paying these people taxes?
Translation: "I don't know nothing!"
I saw Culberson on Lou Dobbs tonight. He is one of the few congressmen in Washington who has any brains.
I am aware of stuff going on on our northern border. They caught a number of Moroccans and then released them soon after, presumably without checking them against the terrorist watch lists, because they did not have space for them in the local jail (this was in Vermont).
As for the southern border, I don't doubt that the coyotes would help terrorists in. They don't care about anything other than money (which is why they treat the illegals so badly.)
So they just let the potential terrorists go? Were they deported?
There would be plenty of jail space if the Mexican illegal aliens were deported. They should be sent all the way down to Mexico City so it would take them longer to get back on their return trip.
The inmates are running the asylum.
Ortiz is ranting about jail releases while the Republican spokesman says:
***Essalih said he had not heard any reports that potential terrorists were being released due to lack of jail space.
He said, "It would be terrifying if that were the case."***
Ortiz piles on with a claim of potential terrorists released from jails. He wants to blame his unproven claim on Republicans. I live in Cameron County at the southern tip of Texas. I can't recall the last time we had a Republican sherrif. We've got a Dem sherrif with a criminal history prior to election. He is currently facing several charges and investigations. He was caught on tape soliciting county epmloyees, on county property, to campaign for him in his re-election bid. He spent a years worth of budget in 2 months. Criminal sexual charges have been filed against some of his jailers. One of the county jails was shut down by the the Feds recently due to prisoner escapes. And these are just the scandals I can think of off the top of my head. I'm sure I missed one or two. With criminals like our Dem sherrif running county jails as part of our first line of defense along the southern border, I would not be surprised to hear that some potential terrorists have been released.
This article reveals a plan of attack by the Dems against Republicans. Slamming the Republicans about denying use of the martricula card while playing the race card by claiming denial of use of the martricula card "is just against Mexicans." (Mexicans? What about representing Americans, Solomon?) Then adding the potential terrorists released from jails claim to smear Republicans. It ain't Republicans running our county jails in Cameron County!
In other local news, it was reported today that a potential terrorist female was arrested today in Hidalgo County at the airport. That is a neighboring county to Cameron County and also a Dem stronghold.
