The illegal immigrant issue is another talk altogether. There are many problems needing to be fixed on that front. And Washington does NOT want to fix the current problem. They have again refused to build the border fence to secure America. They took the money appropriated for the fence out of the omnibus budget TODAY! F*** those bastard politicians. I WANT MY COUNTRY SECURE FROM A BLATANT SECURITY HOLE! IT IS THEIR JOB TO ENSURE TO PROTECT AMERICA AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO DO IT! ..... 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10..... ok.... sorry but that is a sore issue for me. Pray do not bring it up again.

I don't mean to get you all riled up Eomund but I just did a little poking around and was shocked to find that: http://cuppapolitics.blogspot.com/2006/05/clinton-tougher-on-border-than-bush.html http://usliberals.about.com/od/immigration/a/IllegalImmi.htm Highlights: --Clinton hired more agents per year than Bush. (average as of the May '06 newspaper article) --More illegal immigrants were intercepted in any five-year period of Clinton's presidency than the first five years of Bush's. --In 2004, the US fined ZERO companies ZERO dollars for employing illegal immigrants. --When the INS was folded into Homeland Security, the hiring of an additional 10,000 agents -- 2000 per year -- was required by a law Bush signed in 2005. The White House then submitted a plan calling for 210 additional agents in 2006. (Congress made a rare bipartisan effort to push through plans for 1500 instead.) Even leaving aside comparisons to other administrations ... ZERO in 2004? God damn it.

 Final you are right. George W. Bush as FAILED as a President to secure the borders. He wanted to push through the amnesty bill and we the people stopped congress from passing that horrid idea. Bush has continued to fail in the area of Border Security. I hope the next President will build that border fence within 6 months of being in office. If he (God forbid she) doesn't, then all bets are off and hell will break loose in the amount of fury that the government will face from me, and the majority of the country.
