No. People are not mad because money is being spent. People are mad that the current, GOP, conservative admin will not do a damn thing to cut goverment waste fraud and abuse. Do that and the savings will be enough to pay for all the secuirity we need 10 times over.

[billbears]

Kind of contradicts Washington's warning not to search the world for foreign monsters to destroy, no?

You mean George? Come on, get with the game, it's the era of catchphrases, 'with us or against us', 'safety over freedom', and probably a dozen others. We don't have time to follow anything actually in the Constitution. It gets in the way of the Empire. Sit down citizen!!

[Karsus]

Thank You. I have seen the error in my thinking. I will report to my closest GoodFacts(tm) retraining facility soon.

Whoa! I seem to have stumbled into the 1% bunker. Sorry. Uh, I didn't see a thing... go on back to whatever you were doing.

[Puppage]

.....say they will protect us, then leave our borders nearly unprotected

I couldn't agree more with this statement.

BTTT!

"At a minimum this will cost a TON of money"

Youth, illegal immigration costs the U.S. Taxpayers $27 billion to $72 billion each year depending on who you ask and what factors go into their calculations.

You've received all of this information, multiple links and corroboration before.

If all of our 'youth' have such short memories, this country's in big trouble.

As we kick out all of the illegal aliens, we'll have these savings to spend on the measures to keep them out.

Here's an analogy that might work for you. When today's parents finally throw today's youth out of the house, they'll have the money they used to spend on the youths to invest in a good burglar alarm and a couple of 'pit bulls' to keep them out, buy a new car, take multiple vacations, etc..

We could also stop gifting the 4 million ingrates in Puerto Rico $18 billion dollars plus each year.

We could secure a lot of borders with $18 billion dollars plus each year.

Wouldn't you agree?

-
"The qualities of courage and compassion that we strive for in America
also determine our conduct abroad.
The American flag stands for more than our power
and our interests.
Our founders dedicated this country to the cause of human dignity
- the rights of every person and the possibilities of every life.
This conviction leads us into the world to help the afflicted,
and defend the peace,
and confound the designs of evil men."

We can debate policy the policy, but I was referring to the choice of words by Bush's speechwriters.

[JohnGalt]

should be "We can debate the policy (the policy of what to do about terrorism)

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

The speechwriter's words aren't even close to Washington's.

[JohnGalt]

Yeah, exactly. In fact they stand in sharp contrast to our founding father. But I doubt the speech writer realized the irony of a 21st Century "conservative" refuting the original George W.

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

By saying that the speechwriter's words aren't close to Washington's, I meant to say that he's not addressing the same issue. I think you are worrying about a non-issue, sir.
