among other things, yes.

He’s not the only one at fault, certainly, but he has the bully pulpit and he’s using it to encourage illegal aliens to come, and encouraging us to not be too concerned about it. Look, I voted for him for Gov of TX and twice for President, but this is a huge shortcoming of his. I think it will be his legacy, rightly or wrongly, because I think in years to come people will look back and wonder why it was allowed to happen.

24 fan from way back.

Wife fed us all so now we are all happy. :)

[SouthTexas]

I think it will be his legacy, rightly or wrongly, because I think in years to come people will look back and wonder why it was allowed to happen. Every one of his predecessors could have, but didn't. Why should he be viewed any different?

I believe in a couple of years, his record will join all the others that did nothing.

That is except for the leftists, who after 20 more years, will still tag every malady as "Bush's fault".

[nicmarlo]

Full time and smiles on the faces.

(Go Jeff ; )

[nicmarlo]

Brytlea, I wholeheartedly agree with your assessments.

It’s a shame, because the potential was there and it has been squandered instead.

[SouthTexas]

Exactly!

[nicmarlo]

Not everything is Bush’s fault, and no one in their right minds can say it is (liberals are never in their right minds).

But, it’s just as dishonest not to admit that he had the means and the opportunity to have done SOMETHING positive about the borders, the illegals situation, etc. but hasn’t.

And, FWIW, IMHO, it makes absolutely NO SENSE to fight a war on terror overseas, allowing our good men and women to die in the Middle East, while keeping our borders wide open to terrorists, who Bush knows are coming through those borders. Additionally, he knows that more folks are dying here at home than have died overseas at the hands of illegals who have invaded this country.

Now, you tell me how Bush is protecting Americans from invaders, as he is constitutionally bound to protect us from?

[SouthTexas]

I think we only disagree on the amount of the President's culpability. He could have done something and probably should have, as with all those before. That is the reason I don't think you can paint him as mostly responsible.

Frankly I think both fronts need to be maintained, but fighting a PC war in either case is useless.

Now, you tell me how Bush is protecting Americans from invaders, as he is constitutionally bound to protect us from?

He's not, as well as all those in Congress and cities and towns that do not enforce federal law, the latter being far worse.

[brytlea]

We will wait and see. I think you’re wrong, but you could be write. Time will tell.
(and I hope you aren’t including me as a leftist... ;))

[nicmarlo]

If Bush is removing federal dollars (the very dollars he demanded to have as Governor of Texas) from states for locking up "federal" criminals, i.e., lawbreakers of federal immigration laws....it makes it difficult to continue to bleed a turnip dry....especially when LEO are being murdered by the same.

All areas need to comply with federal law; but Bush is in charge of THE federal law enforcement agency, and he is and has been encouraging that agency to NOT go after lawbreakers.

From my homepage:

In 1995, the Texas Governor's [yes, as in George W. Bush] press secretary, Karen Hughes, issued a statement regarding Bush's support of a legal appeal by Texas Attorney General Dan Morales [Texas v. United States, B-94-228 (S.D. Texas 1995) 95-40721 (5th Cir.) (pdf file)], to recover $1.34 billion spent by his state on the incarceration and education of illegal immigrants.

"It's not fair to the taxpayers of Texas to stick them with the bill when the government fails to enforce immigration laws," Hughes said to reporters then.

Karen Hughes wasn't speaking without authority. In 1995, when Gov. Bush was suing the United States' Government for $5 billion, he said:

"If the federal government cannot do its job of enforcing the borders, then it owes the states monies to pay for its failure."

That's right, when George W. Bush was Governor of the State of Texas, he sued the federal government for reimbursement of the costs of incarcerating illegal aliens, yet there are millions more illegal aliens in the United States now than when Bill Clinton was president.

And when campaigning for president in 1999, George W. Bush issued this statement:

[Federal expenditures would be more effective] "...at the front end, to stop people from illegally entering our country, not at the back end, by reimbursing states after it has failed to enforce the border." [I] "would allocate additional resources to enforcing the border, so states such as Texas and California would not have the huge expenses they currently do." (San Francisco Chronicle, Sept. 9, 1999)

Unfortunately:

"eleven to twelve million illegal immigrants currently reside in the United States thanks to this Administration's failure to secure our borders. The Bush Administration has refused to enforce the laws we have on the books and clearly did not make border security or immigration reform a priority until an election year. In 2005, President Bush chose to only fund 210 extra Border Patrol agents after Congress authorized an additional 10,000 agents over five years. In addition, audits of employers who use illegals has declined from 8,000 under the Clinton Administration to 2,200 in 2003. In 2004, only THREE employers were fined for hiring illegal labor. This was down from 1999, when 417 businesses were fined. This failure is inexcusable."

More to the point as far as state costs, and to what I earlier referred:

...While the Bush Administration has neglected its duties, states and local government have borne the costs of cracking down on illegal immigration. In 2006, the President even proposed eliminating the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP) which helps overburdened local municipalities deal with the costs of incarcerating illegals who commit crimes.

Bush budget scraps 9,790 border patrol agents
President uses law's escape clause to drop funding for new homeland security force

Michael Hedges, Houston Chronicle
February 9, 2005

....Officially approved by Bush on Dec. 17 after extensive bickering in Congress, the National Intelligence Reform Act included the requirement to add 10,000 border patrol agents in the five years beginning with 2006....

But Bush's proposed 2006 budget, revealed Monday, funds only 210 new border agents.

The shrunken increase reflects the lack of money for an army of border guards and the capacity to train them, officials said.

These problems rest solely at Bush's feet. He was well aware of the problems going into his presidency, but has done nothing with that knowledge to promote a safer, more secure America. What is the point of going overseas when "the leader of the free world" refuses to secure it borders, leaving them wide open for terrorists and illegals, who are coming through and committing mayhem on our streets? It's absolute insanity.

Heretofore, there were not MILLIONS of illegals streaming across our borders. It has only been this way in the recent past and present. And every time Bush opens his mouth, even more come across the red carpet he's laid down for them.

[SouthTexas]

I would love to see the situation change, but I haven't yet and sadly, don't expect to.

No neither of you, I was being sarcastic. ;)

[SouthTexas]

Good info, but you're preaching to the choir regarding illegals, just the main cause. No President, including this one, can make law or spend monies without Congress. Nor does the President go out and enforce the laws that are in place. There is no support to stop illegals on either side of the aisle.

Have seen LEOs stop and release illegals long before Bush was even governor because the feds would not come and get them for deportation. The President's fault? Hardly.

Of course there are more here today than yesterday and there will be more tomorrow. Most come for work, not all, and having seen their production first hand, I'd love to have a crew or two. Our company does not hire them, we just have to compete with companies that do. So you see, I am no supporter of illegal immigration/migration/or whatever the term of the day is being used.

Some of the dates you posted shows this is not a new problem and I have shown where it has existed for a long, long time. No one can waive a magic wand and cure the problem, it has existed for too long. A fence will only partially stem the tide, if at all. The drug runners already have tunnels beneath the border and imagine shipping a product through that can move by itself!

Criminal illegals are actually getting into a separate issue. We release far too many criminals, legal AND illegal to suit me.

But Bush's proposed 2006 budget, revealed Monday, funds only 210 new border agents.

And Congress adds pork into every bill for every district of every state in the union and they couldn't bring themselves to add for this? Sure the President didn't ask, but he didn't ask for a bridge to nowhere or a Woodstock museum either.

Tina Griego, journalist for the Denver Rocky Mountain News wrote a column titled, “Mexican Visitor’s Lament” — 10/25/07.

She interviewed Mexican journalist Evangelina Hernandez while visiting Denver last week. Hernandez said,

“They (illegal aliens) pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothes...what happens to your country’s economy if 20 million people go away?”

That’s a good question. It deserves an answer. Over 80 percent of Americans demand secured borders and illegal migration stopped. But what would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America? The answers may surprise you!

• In California, if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico, it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupted hospitals and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less congested. Everyone could understand one another as English became the dominate language again.
• In Colorado, 500,000 illegal migrants, plus their 300,000 kids and grand-kids would move back “home,” mostly to Mexico. That would save Coloradans an estimated $2 billion (other experts say $7 BIL) annually in taxes that pay for schooling, medical, social-services and incarceration costs. It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of Denver alone.
• Colorado would save more than $20 million in prison costs, and the terror that those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver Officer Don Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered death, accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals.
• Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67 percent drop out/flunk out rate via thousands of illegal alien students speaking 41 different languages. At least 200,000 vehicles would vanish from our gridlocked cities in Colorado. Denver’s four percent unemployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage.
• In Florida, 1.5 million illegals would return the Sunshine State back to America, the rule of law and English.
• In Chicago, Illinois, 2.1 million illegals would free up hospitals, schools, prisons and highways for a safer, cleaner and more crime-free experience.

If 20 million illegal aliens returned “home”:

If 20 million illegal aliens returned “home,” the U.S. economy would return to the rule of law. Employers would hire legal American citizens at a living wage. Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they wouldn’t be working off the books. That would result in an additional $401 billion in IRS income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for local state and city coffers.

No more push ‘1’ for Spanish or ‘2’ for English. No more confusion in American schools that now must contend with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids. Our overcrowded schools would lose more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and free breakfasts and lunches.

We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than $1.6 billion annually. That means 15,000 MS-13 gang members who distribute $130 billion in drugs annually would vacate our country. In cities like L.A., 20,000 members of the “18th Street Gang” would vanish from our nation. No more Mexican forgery gangs for ID theft from Americans! No more foreign rapists and child molesters!

Losing more than 20 million people would clear up our crowded highways and gridlock. Cleaner air and less drinking and driving American deaths by illegal aliens!

Drain on America’s economy; taxpayers harmed, employers get rich

Over $80 billion annually wouldn’t return to their home countries by cash transfers. Illegal migrants earned half that money untaxed, which further drains America’s economy which currently suffers an $8.7 trillion debt.

At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country, costing us $109 billion per year per cycle. At least 86 hospitals in California, Georgia and Florida would still be operating instead of being bankrupted out of existence because illegals pay nothing via the EMTOLA Act. Americans wouldn’t suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases rampant in our country brought in by illegals unscreened at our borders.

Our cities would see 20 million less people driving, polluting and grid locking our cities. It would also put the “progressives” on the horns of a dilemma; illegal aliens and their families cause 11 percent of our greenhouse gases.

Over one million of Mexico’s poorest citizens now live inside and along our border from Brownsville, Texas to San Diego, California in what the New York Times called, colonias or new neighborhoods. Trouble is, those living areas resemble Bombay and Calcutta where grinding poverty, filth, diseases, drugs, and crime exist, also no sanitation and worse. They live without sewage, clean water, streets, electricity, roads or any kind of sanitation. The New York Times reported them to be America’s new Third World inside our own country. Within 20 years, at their current growth rate, they expect 20 million residents of those colonias. (I’ve seen them personally in Texas and Arizona; it’s sickening beyond anything you can imagine). By enforcing our laws, we could repatriate them back to Mexico.

Finally, if we didn’t allow them here, the California wild fires would not have occurred: Radical Hispanic separatist organization MEChA (”Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan”) took responsibility for setting the wildfires in California, confirmed Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Also included was a rambling manifesto, stating that the reason for the act of arson was that “Aztlan belongs to indigenous people, the Chicanas and Chicanos of Aztlan. We are sovereign and not subject to a foreign culture.”

High integrity, ethical invitation:

We invite 20 million aliens to go home, fix their own countries and/or make a better life in Mexico. We invite a million people into our country legally more than all other countries combined annually. We cannot and must not allow anarchy at our borders, more anarchy within our borders and growing lawlessness at every level in our nation.

I was kidding, I didn’t think you thought I was a leftist (altho I have actually been accused of being a liberal on this very website—I suppose being a teacher causes me to be suspect!)

[nicmarlo]

We can blame the congresscritters, and I have in no way not done so. However, their pro-illegal/pro-amnesty agendas are being pushed by this president, as well, not stopped.

We have only Senator Sessions and Tom Tancredo to thank, for that.

[SouthTexas]

Don't know where you jumped in, but I do not support illegal immigration, just who is mainly at fault.

This however:Finally, if we didn’t allow them here, the California wild fires would not have occurred:, I think is a stretch since at least one was started by a kid and another by downed power lines. Mecha can claim all they want, but that don't make it so. The weather is probably the first culprit, then refusing to clear runs second. A spark can come from anywhere.

[SouthTexas]

My little brother is a teacher and I keep having to check the NEA influences! LOL

[SouthTexas]

We have only Senator Sessions and Tom Tancredo to thank, for that.

And maybe the net, which we didn't have years ago. I think we reach far more people than we realize sometimes.

[nicmarlo]

‘tis true, that.
