As usual, GWB is WWWAAAAAAAYYYYYYY behind the curve.
"Defend the borders" is a fairly important responsibility. GWB's failure to do so is plainly a dereliction of duty, just like signing McCain-Feingold was.

I agree. Allowing for the crimminalization of political speech was a crime in and of itself. McCain-Feingold was targeted at one of his biggest allies, the NRA, and he rewarded them with a stab in the back. Same thing works with the border situation. A lot of Republicans voted for him hoping that once he went into his lame-duck term that he'd show more back-bone but he continues the Hispano-pandering full bore.
