Answer 1

I think the most important thing is to secure the border. Build a fence, a wall, use camera, whatever it takes. Just get it done. There is no point in debating or passing legislation on how to deal with illegal immigrants when they are still streaming across the border. Secure the border first, then debate what to do with the illegals who are already here.

Answer 2

I, apparently, "don't want to do what's right for America" -- and neither do millions of other Republicans, at least according to President Bush.

That's because I'm not ready to sign on -- lock, stock and barrel -- to an immigration plan that is deeply flawed, most significantly because it lacks the controls to ensure that this country is not infiltrated by jihadists.

It's hard to figure out what advantage President Bush sees in attacking those of good conscience who disagree with him. Many of them happen to be some of his staunchest allies in the war on terror, and it isn't clear how it serves him to insult them gratuitously.

And it's puzzling that the President would save his harshest rhetoric -- not for those who would defund American soldiers, or force a surrender in Iraq -- but for those who don't believe it's wise to hand out probationary visas to people from "countries of interest" (i.e. heavily populated by jihadists), thereby allowing them to embed in the United States, without the benefit of even a cursory background check
