If the exodus from Mexico to the US was stopped there would be a civil uprising, and possibly civil war within Mexico which would cause decades of unrest and instability.
Bush is defending mexico from this instability by not just keeping the borders open but more importantly preventing anyrthing from happening that would discourage the exodus.
Bush cannot afford to have the mexicans afraid to come to the US!
That is why he has shown them that he will protect them from US citizens and border agents who may attempt to succeed in defending the borders.
Impeachment must begin.
The problem is that Dems will never support the impeachment on these grounds because they concur with the open border.
If the border closes the New World Order of the Americas will be seriously delayed.
Right now the Rep and Dem leaders are trying to get as many illegals into the US as possible so that it will become impossible to ever send them back and to hurry and have them begin to cause unrest in the US to counter the closed-border proponents.
Bush would cave in immediately to crowds of illegals marching in the streets of Houston or San Diego.
Yet, Bush counts of the civility and passiveness of the outraged American citizen to allow him to keep the borders open.
Illegals marching in the streets will get their way with Bush while outraged US citizens who post furiously on internet blogs about how outrageous it all is will be totally ignored.
Bush laughs at us who simply spew posts like this. We do not have power. We do not threaten his funds which come from the very wealthy who support his agrenda and have investments tied up in mexico. We do not threaten bad press or instability that would come with hundreds of thousands of illegals marchings.
Our only hope now is impeachment. And I don;t see enough support in Congress for that.
The terrorists are sending you great thanks and their regards for such a post that gives them so much aid and comfort.
While I agree with almost everything you say, including Bush's behavior concerning the border borders on an impeachable offense, such an action would not be very practical.
Our President has proven himself to be what I initially feared. But I did vote for him twice, as the alternatives presented were ridculously odius.
I read that Bush is headed to Mexico today to suck up because they view the USA unfavorably because we want to put up a fence. Bush wants to assure them that he loves the illegals and that he will not stop the flow.
And the Loons begin to howl. This thread has as high a concentration of nonsense as I have seen at FR.
