Bush is on record with putting Guard down on the border that will not enforce the law. They cannot apprehend nor carry ammunition.
Cheney is on record with a section of fence, rather than an entire strip of fencing, so what people will do is simply go through the sections not fenced in.
Quit stating they have given what was wanted. They have not.
How is his interpertation less valid then yours?
And, exactly, where was it stated the the nat guard troops will be unable to carry ammunition and unable to detain an illegal?
Got to agree with Soul Seeker.
The President's comments in the past make it clear that he's ok with lax immigration. The reaction to the minutemen confirm that.
The President may have increased men on the Border but the results over the last 6 years are that they have been stunningly ineffective. It's hard to believe that they could have been that ineffective without a wink and a nod from the top.
When one solitary bust of Illegals in ohio makes national news, something is seriously wrong.
When they talk about putting guards on the border but not letting them patrol. They are telegraphing their intent not to take this serious.
