Since President Bush took office, funding for border security has increased by 66 percent. The Border Patrol has been seen a 30% increase in agents.

Since President Bush took office, agents have apprehended and sent home more than 6 million people entering the country illegally - including more than 400,000 with criminal records. More than 600,000 illegal immigrants were apprehended through the Arizona Border Control Initiative last year - an increase of more than 50 percent.

The president is ending catch and release.

He's appointing the NG to the borders. Using a virtual fence.

Last year, it took an average of 66 days to process a non-Mexican illegal immigrant. Now, the process is taking only 21 days.

Since President Bush took office, funding for immigration enforcement has increased by 42 percent.

Last year, President Bush signed legislation to more than double the resources dedicated to worksite enforcement.

You'll have to point to one other president who has addressed this problem, all while running a war in two countries yet.

He wants illegals to be able to stay here.

He's told Fox that the deployment is only temporary. (To give his beloved illegals the signals that if they lay off trying to get in for a while, they can get in later.)
