Ok--just watched Tony's segment. He said that while enforcement for the 1986 bill was a "joke," THIS time, it would be different. Tony sounded sincere and I wish I could believe him, but but the government simply does not have any credibility on this issue.

They have a lot more credibility if they would enforce the current laws first and build the fence. Once that was done then the topic of what to do with those already here could be addressed.

The fact that that Bush demands "comprehensive" reform shows that he is disingenious on this topic. Bush also tries to equate spending more more money on the border patrol to increasing enforcement.

Unless you have the borders actually guarded, it doesn't matter how much money is spent or how many people are hired.

Especially when the people you hire are not allowed to do their jobs for threat of finding themselves in prison. Having ten million guards at the border isn't worth sh*t if they can't stop anyone from crossing.

Heck, he can't help himself you know. That's a lot like his infamous compassionate conservatism campaign slogan. i.e., socialism by way of globalism. I think he believes he deserves to be treated like a monarch rather than a democratically elected representative of the people. Long live King George II.
