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.
Very well written, and all true!!
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.
Let’s start the impeachment. We either believe it or we are just like those that betray us for whatever excuses they give.
I ALSO want for the border hawks who use this forum as a constant platform to preach their hatred for Bush to get through their minds that he also hasn't done nothing about the border and the Democrat party operatives would've done much much less about the border than even Bush.
Turning all of politics into one issue and helping a party go to HELL because its failure to have a 100% success rate is insane.
This is what we want the liberals to do to the DEMOCRATS, dammit.
JMO.
What an outrageous foolish hatefest.
Thank you President Bush for your excellent work as a public servant.
Once this crowd has permanent established the Democratic party as the only ruling party in America, maybe they will come to their senses.
It will be difficult to rally the conservative base from jail cells though.
Border bots are opposed to border enforcement. We saw that in their defeat of the most recent immigation bill.
Correct and inexcusable
Good grief...for people who claim knowledge of the Constitution this is a situation where they look foolish. Surely they know that Bush does not "appropriate funds", Congress does.
June 15, 2007 - WASHINGTON – House Democrats voted down legislation offered by Congressman Jerry Lewis Friday to require full funding for 854 miles of double fencing and other security measures that were mandated in the Secure Fence Act passed by Congress last year. Lewis criticized the vote as undermining efforts to provide real security to the nation’s Southern border.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) has provided an early indication that the new Democratic congressional leadership is prepared to abandon all pretense of enforcing U.S. immigration laws and our borders, warns the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). In a statement Tuesday, Hoyer declared that construction of the 700-mile security fence approved by Congress last fall is unlikely to receive the funding necessary to move forward. Instead, Hoyer vaguely referred to "other ways" that Congress would look into dealing with illegal immigration and securing the nation against terrorist infiltration.
Past statements by the Democratic leadership indicate that their approach to dealing with illegal immigration would include another massive illegal alien amnesty program and another set of vague promises to enforce immigration laws in the future. Democrats, who have repeatedly excoriated the Bush administration for its failure to bring America's borders under control and for failing to take necessary steps to secure the nation against future terrorist attacks, now appear prepared to scuttle the one real initiative that has been put forth to end the dangerous and chaotic situation that exists along the southern border.
Democrats Indicate That They Are Ready to Backtrack on Border Fence, Warns FAIR
And puhleeeeze don't anyone say he could do it if he wanted...or it's back to Civics 101 for you. And yes, what y'all call the amnesty bill was a farce, but the fence issue is being held up by the Dems, Bush signed the bill approving the fence and also gave Chertoff permission to waive environmental regulations that were also holding it up. Yes,...let's DO put the blame where it belongs...on Congress.
I don't doubt that Bush believes he has saved more American lives when the overall economic impact of illegal immigration is taken into account than the few thousand which have been lost because of criminal action by illegals. No doubt that he believes he has helped stave off a Communist revolution in Mexico that might have killed millions. No doubt that he believes he is denying Hugo Chavez (and by extension, China) an expanded role in the Western Hemisphere.
But since he seems to have decided he can't comment publicly on these aspects of the issue - particularly on the way illegals are propping up our house-of-cards economy at the moment - he has apparently decided to take the short-term political hit in the hope that history will prove him right, much as he did to shield Putin from the repurcussions of Putin's decision to help Iraq move its WMD's to Syria before the war.
Bush isn't a villain - but he's too much of an "ends justify the means" guy to be a hero, either.
Bush and Fox meet in either Feb. or March of '01 to discuss immigration-we all know what that means. If after 9-11 and he didn't shut the borders down, he never will. The blueprint has been laid out and they will not stop it's progress. Only we can fight against that tide.
here's a bit from it.
The bilateral migration talks were initially announced at the Presidents’ first meeting in February 2001, and they were more formally reviewed in early September 2001. At that time, the Presidents instructed the cabinet-level working group “to reach mutually satisfactory results on border safety, a temporary worker program and the status of undocumented Mexicans in the United States . . . as soon as possible.”
I am at the point where I can’t even stand looking at the guy on tv anymore and I voted for him twice. How he can gamble another 911 is beyond comprehension.
What a giant pants load! A few points for this moron;
1) Most illegals were here before GWB took office. 8.4 million in 2000.
2) GWB’s position was always comprehensive reform. He was elected President with that position. Bitching about his beliefs now is more than a little lame. Seems like this guy would prefer a flip-flopper to a man that tells the truth.
3) After 9/11, GWB had more important things to do than chase down Mexicans.
4) GWB has stepped up enforcement, the number of BP, and the amount of barriers. Border crossings were down last year. That is more than anyone since Eisenhower (with Operation Wetback) has done.
5) In 2004, 1.4 million law enforcement officers effected 14 million arrests. You do the math on how many it would take to get 12-20 million illegals off the street even if the cities and states would cooperate.
6) If illegals commit a violent crime, they are still subject to arrest and conviction. What has illegal got to do with it? We’ve had a war on drugs for forty years....is it GWB’s fault everytime someone OD’s?
7) Violent crime is down, employment is up, the economy is booming. We have not had a terror attack since 9/11. Where is the damage to this country other than in this guy’s own mind.
For all the border rhetoric I have seen the last two years, NOTHING has been accomplished but putting Dems back in power. We won’t even be able to identify illegals till at least 2009 now. That’s really good for security, isn’t it?
This guy hurts conservatives with reckless crap like this.
If we are putting blame where blame is due, it’s all of our fault. We have sat by and let it get to this point just as much as our legislators. I know people are going to line up saying they have been concerned about it for a long time, but be honest with yourselves, because you know that the vast majority of us haven’t made this a high priority and taken real action on it until recently.
It’s the ‘big picture’ — the NAU, and nothing must get in the way of that.
Border ping!
