QUOTE OF THE DAY
President Bush Discusses Comprehensive Immigration Reform in Yuma, Arizona
U.S. Border Patrol - Yuma Station Headquarters
Yuma, Arizona
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all. Thank you all very much, please be seated. Thanks for the warm welcome. Thanks for the warm weather. (Laughter.)
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Twenty-eight degrees in Washington.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, 28 degrees in Washington, that's right. I appreciate you sharing that with me. (Laughter.) Sometimes it's a little hotter than that in Washington. But I'm glad to be back here in Yuma. Thank you so very much for your hospitality. Thanks for your service to the country. I appreciate so very much the work you're doing day and night to protect these borders. And the American people owe you a great debt of gratitude.
The Border Patrol is really an important agency. I know some people are wondering whether or not it makes sense to join the Border Patrol. My answer is, I've gotten to know the Border Patrol, I know the people serving in this fine agency -- I would strongly urge our fellow citizens to take a look at this profession. You're outdoors, you're working with good people, and you're making a solid contribution to the United States of America. And I want to thank you all for wearing the uniform and doing the tough work necessary, the work that the American people expect you to do.

Don’t you worry about the hour, snugs. With all you’ve got going on .. and for your computer to die, we’re grateful you can even do it. THANK YOU!
How’s your Dad doing today? Hope he’s better .. just knowing the surgery is behind him will hopefully give him a big lift.
Prayers for his daily progress and complete recovery.
What do you think happened to your computer?
Bless you, sweet snugs. You have so much on your plate and you’re just amazing!!!
Oh Eleanor what a bummer on your broadband. At least you can back up w/modem. I cannot as I have no Internet service w/o cable number one & no land line phone for over a year. I have a lot of friends who are getting rid of their regular phones & just using the cell phones.
Thank you for the Dose & for the extra effort & frustration you are having bringing it to us. You surely did NOT need this aggravation.
Glad dad is progressing. I am sure it is a relief to you to have the surgery done & I am sure you also miss him home a lot. I know I would miss mom if she were hospitalized & not here. It is so nice to just be able to go into the next room & visit with her any time I want
Ditto/HERE-HERE to your comments
She might have gotten knocked off line again. I’ll check back tomorry.
Still finishing my preparation as I stopped it to at least give message of what had happened to the dose have now finished the President’s section and will post the photos.
