| johnsobas said: another thing i don't like about this is that this was not a huge issue before, now it is suddenly is even though there are far more border agents. I'm not saying it's not an issue but it seems to be something that conservatives want to exagerrate in order to make the president look like he isn't doing his job. Fact is that illegal immigration is actually down. It is down because the job market is down. |
It wasn't a huge issue before? Are you kidding me? Hell it's the number 1 issue pretty much every rightwing person had with Bush.
It was a GIGANTIC deal that had all sorts of news station coverage and complaining during the Bush presidency. Didn't you watch any TV? EDIT: Oh your from the UK. Well suffice it to say, your just wrong. It was a big deal during the ENTIRE Bush presidency, and if anything had less coverage once the market went down.
It's the biggest diversion between Bush and the rest of the party because Bush wanted to get Hispanics to vote Republican, since outside of Immigration they pretty much have completly republican values, but vote democrat because of the Republicans immigration stance.
