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.

Keep in mind that enforcement of the NEW immigration laws would be much more complicated than enforcement of the current immigration laws, and...it’s not that they can’t enforce the laws now...it’s that they CHOOSE not to. WHY? What’s been their excuse for WHY not?

What’s changed? What reason are they giving for having made the conscious decision to choose to now begin enforcing the laws? I don’t think there is one, and I don’t think they plan to.

They said the same for the 60s bill, for the 80s bill, and for the 90s bill. They have no intention of enforcing the new one, after the shellgame shuffle to get it signed.

If they did, they would be enforcing now. Look at the hoodwinking from last year with the National Guard. That was the one of the biggest farces in border history.

The Bush Administration and Congress have no credibility on border enforcement.

Show us, first. Show us some real border security. Then we might believe.

But still, some 5,000 illegals are entering every night and, as Harry Reid admitted on the Senate floor just 2 weeks ago, only about 5% of the illegals are apprehended/detained. The other 95% are getting in unabated.

Why would it be different this time?

No one can possibly believe that unless the law is defended BEFORE any bills are passed. Since there is not the smallest sign that that is being done, and since passage of this bill would almost certainly guarantee a Democrat victory next year, such an assurance is merely laughable.

Bush won't be around to enforce it. Moreover, he has shown not the smallest interest in enforcing the immigration laws. Instead he has given us a record of sending border patrol agents to jail for trying to enforce the laws against drug dealers and criminals caught in the act.

If this bill is passed, and as a result the Republican party is destroyed, then will hillary be more eager to enforce it than Bush has been? I think not.

Prayers for Tony Snow and his family, but I am sorry he has agreed to defend the indefensible.
