You're right. It started long ago. Reagan's signing of an amnesty bill in 1986 was an act of political expediency and encouraged more illegal immigration by rewarding the law breakers. The situation has grown progressively worse from Bush 41 onwards.
The reason why many of us are upset with Bush 43 is that border security has become a matter of national security after 9/11. Almost five years later we still have illegals pouring across our borders in huge numbers. Although six million have been caught during the Bush administration and sent back, an estimated 500,000 a year are getting through.
The number of those caught over the past five years, i.e., six million, works out to 1.2 million annually or 100,000 a month. I would call this an invasion.
Well .. I don't know where you got the impression I wasn't upset about the borders. I live 11 miles from the border and 2 of the hijackers lived in my city.
But .. it isn't just the President who is soft on immigration .. IT'S HUNDREDS OF OTHER REPUBS AND MOST DEMS.
Let's put the blame where it belongs, instead of just using Bush for a punching bag and a catch-all.
