"I suppose it was too much to expect that the Border Patrol was there checking papers on the American side huh?"

A righteous question; justifiable anger.

"Bush will never get another vote from me...he is determined to make America a borderless country."

An unjust statement; misdirected anger.

This POTUS has to deal with a more urgent issue first, Mom.
We need to be thankful this man can recognize, & then act on the nation's priorities, right now.
Unlike the last guy, who needed "focus group(s)," "polls," & input from a collection of the worst pack of America-hating Liberal-Socialist maniacs this Republic's ever witnessed before he made the WRONG decision.

You & I must permit and support this POTUS as he finishes what he's started; namely, eliminate the primary threat & safe haven for the losely-knit pack of anaimals who killed thousands of our citizens and are now busy terrorizing the entire world.

Later, this POTUS must come back to plug the holes terrorist stragglers could & will use to come here to do their dirty work.
Insodoing his solutions to one problem, will ideally solve the other problem; while addressing our concerns regarding the Mexican illegal.

Don't take your eye off the ball, now.

...nothing could possibly please the disgraceful, shameless likes of Daschle & Gephardt.

[You & I must permit and support this POTUS as he finishes what he's started; namely, eliminate the primary threat & safe haven for the losely-knit pack of anaimals who killed thousands of our citizens and are now busy terrorizing the entire world.]

Now our POTUS had some time before 9/11 and what was he doing with it? He was being very friendly to Fox, he was speaking of 'they only want a better life', 'they are jut hard working family people, 'they are doing the work no one else will do'. He was inviting Fox to speak to Congress so he could personally demand that the US give rights to his citizens - freedoms US citizens don't enjoy. No it is not just the fact he is doing nothing, he has encouraged it. He does not get a pass on this - there is no way you can spin it. This is his plan.

[ [Later, this POTUS must come back to plug the holes terrorist stragglers could & will use to come here to do their dirty work.]

Are you willing to wait until he is through with Afghanistan and Iraq to remove and prevent the terrorist 'stragglers'? What exactly does that mean? How many does 'stragglers' make? Is it 5 people with bio weapons, 25 people? 100? 'Stragglers' makes it sound sort of benign, but explain just how many you are willing to allow across the border before you think he should take notice. Think of the tons of illegal drugs that are brought across the border, it would take only a small amount of biochemicals to seriously harm this country. After all, we are going after Saddam because he has these weapons, aren't we? Why then are we leaving them the perfect entry route for bringing it to us?

[ Insodoing his solutions to one problem, will ideally solve the other problem; while addressing our concerns regarding the Mexican illegal.] That may be too late for our safety and I firmly believe it will be too late to 'address our concerns regarding the illegals' (all illegals). By then, he will have his amnesty bill passed and he can say 'what illegals?'

Now I don't think he intends for terrorists to come across the border, but I do believe it is is plan for the illegal Mexicans and he can't stop one without the other.

Yes, a plan that he, the Border Governors and numerous Open-Border groups have been working on for some time. They all feel cheated because what happened on 9-11 brought attention to flaws in the Immigration services and put a cog in their wheel. They believe their demands should override US security and sovereignty.

What looks like common problems don't originate in this country though, the problems all come from Mexico and it's inability to provide a decent living standard. Welfare and government handouts aren't common to both sides either so the US taxpayers are the ones getting hit hard to provide for the problems caused by Mexico. No one is dying because they want into Mexico, they're all dying trying to escape. The US isn't the cause of them dying, if their own government would reform, they could have a nice life in their own homeland.

But you're right that Mexico's many problems are more and more commonly found on both sides of the border ---and all the way through the US. I know even in Michigan they're having problems in treating mentally ill patients now who don't speak a word of English and the social workers haven't yet learned Spanish for them.

My issue is with Bushes desire to open those borders and expand Nafta to So.. America...As a nation we can not afford the onslaught of thrird world folks that Bush/Fox want in here...as Morris says it is the death of the stupid party ...and I say it is the birth of Bush sr.'s New World Order...

I can have hated Clinton and hate open borders today and remain consistant in my love of America...

"I can have hated Clinton and hate open borders today and remain consistant in my love of America..."

For Heaven's sake I never for an instant meant to imply otherwise of you, Mom.
Just suggested (urged?) you to cool down & try being more patient.

Doing so -- especially in view of the circumstances -- is without a doubt an extremely hard thing to do.
I know; I'm trying my best, too.

The problem's horrible even for us Hoosiers; so, I can just imagine the hell those living in the southern border states must be experiencing.

But Mom?
The 'Rats aren't going to be the solution, either; furthermore, a non-vote or a vote for a Libertarian, Constitutionalist or whatever just turns into a vote for the 'Rats in our two party system.
You know that, too.

The 'Rats will surely accelerate this entire illegal problem beyond your & my wildest nightmares, & do so by default.

That is to say the 'Rats will never even recognize this as an issue needing rectification; but, instead the 'Rat will begin in earnest labeling those who're pleading for help as nothing more than "bigots" & "racists" all in an attempt to increase, win-over & combine these minorities into the numbers of those who're here, already.

For the 'Rats, it's the only chance they have for survival; because, people are waking up & getting savvy to the 'Rat's bullshit more & more everyday.
They must import more dupes to make-up those voters who've fled & invent ways to supplement the rest.

They've the "tools" to pull that off, too; whatwith, their stranglehold on our Lamestream sycophant-infested media, acadamia pinheads, the union thugs & on & on & on.
They've done that before, Mom; &, by God they'd do it again in a heartbeat IF it'd mean they could gain, maintain, or acquire more power to implement their Liberal-Socialist agenda.

Think this POTUS would ever turn lapdog "Praetorian Guards" (in the various forms of institutions I've described) loose on the nation's peoples who're trying to raise this issue?

If you do?
Then that's where we've (you & I) have a major problem.

...because I don't.

Having been on the frontline of this battle for more years than I care to admit, I have seen this situation get worse since IRCA was signed back in November 1986. It continued to get worse under Bush Sr. and went completely out of control under Clinton. Many of us were hoping for something better from GWB, but from what we see and hear these days, the future doesn't look good on this issue...unless you're an illegal alien that is.

"We are just trying to send a message. We want to draw attention to the human toll and cost of people trying to immigrate into the United States," Solis said, adding, "everyone has a right to dignified work, housing, free education, social security and health care."

Well, Robert Ringer is right. Wants have become rights.

These people don't understand that, nothing is free, someone has to pay for it.
