It is Bush’s greatest failing. It’s nearly 6 years since the attacks, and he still refuses to address it. If/when we are attacked again, I have no doubt it’ll be shown the attackers have come over the borders (we already know they have). And at that time, if he is still in office, he will be impeached.

A porous insecure border is not a failing of the Bush Administration...it’s there official policy.

there=their

(duh!)

It was official policy LONG before Bush took office.

I would like to know how Bush expects America to be safe when he has invited criminals from Mexico and other countries here?

Very well written, and all true!!

Yes, but Bush is at the helm now, and has absolutely no excuses after 9-11.

[ANGGAPO]

I still support GWB because there is on one else to support right now. But the border mess has really changed my opinion of of the man. Right now he couldn’t get my vote for dog catcher. It will take years to recover from 20 thousand illegals sucking money out of our country. We are all paying the price for the ineptitude of several past presidents including GWB.

He won’t even take responsibility. In the past 6 years the invasion of our country has escalated beyond belief. He is not only to blame, he has also aided and abetted this illegal invasion.

Don’t make those silly excuses, all new administrations are never bound by the mistakes of former presidents, they have absolute power to reverse any of their predecessor's wrong policies by executive order or directives to the various agencies.

“It was official policy LONG before Bush took office.”

Bush has been the illegal immigrants best friend for 6 years.

I never said they were. I simply pointed out that this is nothing new, but people act like Bush created this problem.

Yep, they do, and I sure wish he would. But since not one of his predecessors has done so (not even Reagan) we shouldn't be surprised that Bush isn't doing it either. (Bush certainly didn't promise to take care of this issue during his campaigns.)

[stephenjohnbanker]

“I would like to know how Bush expects America to be safe when he has invited criminals from Mexico and other countries here?”

Obviously, he has other priorities.

[MEGoody]

Yep, he is, and I don't see anything wrong with continuing the pressure for him (and Congress) to take proper steps to solve the problem. At the same time, we shouldn't act like Bush created the problem. (And it's not like he's breaking any campaign promise to seal the borders.)

“He won’t even take responsibility. In the past 6 years the invasion of our country has escalated beyond belief. He is not only to blame, he has also aided and abetted this illegal invasion.”

Bush has openly promoted illegal immigration. No other President did this.

[MEGoody]

Bush has been the illegal immigrants best friend for 6 years.

Reagan was theirs for 8. Bush Sr. was theirs for 4. Clinton was theirs for 8. What's your point?

[Scythian]

Let’s start the impeachment. We either believe it or we are just like those that betray us for whatever excuses they give.
