It is truly amazing that everyday this administration talks up how it is securing America and protecting the America people. Where is that? Over in Iraq? How can they say this when this border remains as open as it is and anyone, including the Mexican army can just walk in here any old time they want. And while they talk against illegal drugs and most of it is coming in from our southern border, mainly from Mexico. Why do they not address these obvious problems?

Is the first major Democrat testing the waters?

If the dems put forward a tough (although phony as last year's bird nest) border/illegal immmigration policy, then President Bush and the Republicans will be aced out of the most significant anti-terrorist issue. Does Diane Feinstein read the American people better than the President?

It should be pretty near obvious to everyone by now that Bush and his cronies are for One World rule by transnational corporations with an Imperial US military acting as the enforcement arm. Maybe they think this is part of the Inevitable Onward March of History. If the Dems are opposed to this plan they have failed to make it very clear. BTW, the Bush gang has consistently used its muscle to get the Europeans to commit suicide by admitting Turkey into the EU .

These incursions (incursion is PC-Speak for armed invasions) will continue. President Bush and the Republican leadership have, for some reason, made it clear that they are committed to an open borders/mass amnesty policy (which is PC-Speak for encouraging illegal aliens and then granting them residency and eventually citizenship). Why? I have not been able to find out why. I personally have watched Border Patrol agents sit in their trucks and watch illegals cross our border and do nothing. Nothing! A few Minutemen proved that illegal immigration can be stopped. But, the Minutemen had to spot the illegals and report them to the Border Patrol before the Border Patrol would do anything. Apparently, hundreds of more agents, helicopters, sensors, and all their technology was no help in the Border Patrol spotting illegals entering.

"One argument that is not often talked about is corruption and big business." Also not talked about is the effect of the cash economy, another rampant form of fraud. In CA the Tax Board admits a shortfall of $6 billion per year just from the cash economy. The real and lasting result of all this is a loss of respect for all law by all of us. "Why should we obey the law when they don't?"

But the added people and the runup of housing prices keeps property tax revenue high. That's why CA likes it--tax revenue from people who won't fight back.

What is obviously needed is "milion-citizen" march on DC to scare the hell out of the Congress. Bush is indifferent to the concernsof the citizenry because he is a lame duck. Why has this march not happened? My guess is that the anti-illegal immigration groups are fearful that a handful of neo-nazis will show up waving swatiska flags and the rotten MSM will focus on them. And, of course, they will show up because anti-American groups like the SPLC will recruit them for the occasion.

I have been a tax attorney for 10 years now and have often wondered why Bush was not more active in stopping illegal immigration. One argument that is not often talked about is corruption and big business.

For example, under the current tax laws, an employer is

What I want to know is...What's so Grande about the Rio Grande? Anyone who has seen it knows that along most of its length it hardly deserves to be called a river.
