Driver Insurance Becomes Matter of Foreign Policy


I know that the Bushbots think we're just bashing Bush. No. This isn't a game to us. They should remember those links you ran to support the war in Iraq. If anything, we are trying to spare the GOP a painful defeat, one they would deserve if they continue to neglect border safety during our war on terror.

Exactly.
( And I thank you for remembering my previous work- I've supported the President from the beginning, I've criticized him when I think he is wrong, and I think he started off on the wrong foot on this subject. )

This "issue" is flying under the radar because politicians and the press don't want to talk about it ( for whatever reasons ) but that does not mean it isn't out there, and on people's minds. My nominally Democrat wife is incensed about illegal aliens. Why? In the last year, nearly every house south of us has filled up with immigrants, and as the old joke goes, "there went the neighborhood..." She sees- correctly- that we'll never, ever get back what we put in this house since 1987-- it's a pocketbook issue for her. For me, it's quality of life- I don't care for the packs of immigrants, cars, and dogs roaming the neighborhood at all hours, the noise, five cars and trucks-- all brand new- parked on the grass in front of every house... houses which have, incidently, at least one and often three brand-new satellite dishes sprouting from roof and lawn. And every one of 'em has a cell phone- but the houses seem to lack landlines-- draw what conclusions you will from this, but it is not a pretty, or flattering, picture. It's downright ugly.

It's not funny, quaint, or amusing any longer, and politicians ignore it at their own peril.
