If Mr. Bush wants to liberalize legal immigration policies from Mexico, let him set up a tarheta verde stand at the border and hand them out. But to ignore illegal crossings because you think that lack of enforcement constitutes an immigration policy is a slap in the face to every airline traveler who's gotten a pat-down from the TSA.

My thoughts exactly. I've said before on this board, and elsewhere, that one cannot even discuss "Homeland Security" while the borders of the country are essentially unguarded. No offense meant to the over-burdened people actually in charge of patrolling it, but how must they feel when our govt. simply will not give them the resources to make it secure?
Three hour lines at the airport while they strip-search Asian schoolchildren and Swedish grandmothers in the name of PC,
, and any half-crippled drunk can simply walk over the border from Mexico?? In groups of 20-30 at a time? What a freaking joke.
