The next step is to immediately push the president to take up his word and enforce security at the border. I am ready to support the work that is needed to accomplish this goal,

Forget it. Bush will never do it. He has a sickness about this issues and the Mexicans...it is not healthy, nor is it in any way, good for America and its people, let alone desired by the majority of Americans. It is hard to believe this man’s position on this, and that at the same time, he is the President of this country. Beyond shocking.
This fight has really been an eye-opener.
But aren’t they all of Mexican descent?
I guess he only likes the illegal kind!
On April 18, 2006 President Bush flew into Yuma, Az. for a multi-million dollar photo-op to announce he was going to put National Guard Troops on the Border. My information indicates that the heaviest presence was in the Yuma Sector.
In the beginning, the presence of the Guard was successful because of fear of the military by residents of third world countrys. The flow of illegals slowed, and was diverted to more remote areas where there was less Guard Presence. The flow into the Yuma Sector was greatly reduced.
On April 9, 2007 President Bush kicked off his campaign to pass his "comprehensive immigration reform bill," with yet another multi-million dollar fly in to Yuma Az. announcing how successful his attempts to control the border had been.
June 16, 2007, I spoke with Chris Simcox of the MMCDC, he informed me that the Guard had been withdrawn from the border in central Az. where his people were deployed. At that time there were still a few Guard posts in heavy traffic areas in Southwest Az. usually one post every two to four miles, in some areas less.
Late in the afternoon, June 22, 2007, four days before the "immigration reform bill," was brought back from the dead, the border area along the Colorado River was saturated with National Guard, three to four, National Guard Posts per mile. Word was, that would continue for twelve days. Why 12 days? why now?
My personal observations from ground zero indicate that President Bush has no intrest in doing any more than create the illusion, that he wants to secure the border.
