The leadership of all 11,000 nonsupervisory U.S. Border Patrol agents

Misleading headline they've put out there. Bonner expressed his opinion on the legislation (has he read it?), and the headline implies that ALL border patrol agents agree with him.

I hate it when the media do stuff like that.

“(has he read it?)”

Last I could find, the actual language for the bill is not even been written yet.

This is just sophistry. "A key characteristics of the Bush administration is its inability to adequately build consensus on issues. Rather, it decides, presents and then tries to shove through many of its policies on various fronts. This bill was a compromise bill, but an administration that had greater abilities in aggregating interests versus vote-counting might have been able to bring a greater part of its party’s conservative base along with solid and comprehensive arguments and political skills."

Bush has gotten more legislation passed than anyone since LBJ.
