Conservatives MUST watch out that their justifiable frustration with immigration law doesn't play into the liberals' hands by weakening the President.
President Bush has failed miserably on illegal immigration. I'll support whomever steps up to the plate and deploys our National Guard units to the border and keeps them there until a permanent wall/barrier can be built.
If the president is weakened it is because he weakened himself.If he refuses to secure our borders he will suffer the consequences for that decision.I'm not willing to let the president off the hook for everything just because he's a republican.
The issue is that we who live on the border live in an undeclared war zone. Our concerns are ignored, and at times we are even taunted by those officials who are supposed to defend us as US Citizens. I understand what you are saying, but please listen to what we are saying. We have tried to reach out to our elected representatives, and are met with silence- or worse plans that will only make the situation worse. Frustration is growing and there seems to be no way to get the help we so desperately need. The only way I see to get the problems the attention they deserve is through publicity. Nothing else has worked.
Since you seem to think we are playing into the liberal's hands, what do you suggest we do?
The President is weakening himself along with our national security due to his intentional failure to protect our borders from invasion.
