To this day, 6 years after 9/11, our borders are WIDE open. Bush even authored and cosponsored a bill to give 12 million illegals amnesty. All of this because of the need of corporations for cheap labor. Because of his inaction, Americans are left to patrol the border on their own, without the protection or funding of the federal government. When will Bush put aside business interests and seal the borders?

Agreed.......what the government, or should I say what they havent' done, to protect the borders is criminal.

He won't seal the borders - because. He can't. Sealing the borders would require Congress to spend authoirize probably ten times the number of border patrol we have today. Do you see Congress authorizing more border guards? If the amount of money spent on TSA were devoted to Border Patrol you might have seen a change by now.
The people who caused 9/11 came across our borders legally. They didn't come here to work for 'big' corporations. that's a red herring and you know it.
The majority of illegals don't work for the 'big' corporations either. The only 'big' business they could work for are ALL union. And unions wouldn't allow non-union to work there.They work for farms, building contractors, and small manufacturing firms. And most of them work doing jobs YOU wouldn't do for what they get paid.
I may not like the illegals being here but I'm not sure just how far I'll go to keep them out. We all came here from somewhere in the part. Even the American Indians came here from somewhere else at one time.
And oh by the way. Your boy Bill didn't do anything about the problem either. The Democrat Congress under Reagan approved an amnesty. What was wrong with that.

Republican politicians generally believe that big business IS America. They think that the interests of businesses takes precedence to the interests of individuals. Of course, Democrat politicians generally believe the same thing. So, it's not going to matter which party is in office when it comes to your big business concerns. In other words, don't blame Bush because of the WIDE open borders. It has and will remain the same with a Democrat.

Bush never hid the fact he was willing to try and buy off the Hispanic vote on these issues and big business. Its not news; he never came out during either campaign and said he'd close the border - not once. He's always been an open border liberal.
Sad thing is that its gotten bad. Now in addition to being here criminally they want free health care, education and citizenship granted to them and many (like Bush) would give it too them.

Social Security taxes aren't taxes in a typical sense - they are premium insurance payments to cover payouts for future disability/old age. The broad support the program has enjoyed in the past is a result of this - people see it as a program where you pay in and get out. If people who think like you decide that the cap on earnings taxed needs to be lifted (to make the "rich" pay more) without raising the benefits that the rich can expect to receive - then you have DESTROYED exactly what has made this program to popular. In essence, you will have transformed it from a defined benefit insurance program into WELFARE.

because politicians like presidency (not picking on any particular president they all fit this) are vassals a vassal has no real power and must do what those who have the power say do or lose their positions.also many times they have a conflict of interest too by having shares in corporations who benefit from what laws and subsidies they pass and thus they benefit by having their stocks go up.
so in reality as long as humans as a whole are selfish and greedy (sinful) manrule will be oppressive unfair and burdensome.
RRRR

Bush thinks the interests of big business are the interests of America.

Because Big Business got him selected - not elected - President to make sure their interests were the priority in all government actions regardless if it were in the US publics interest.

Seems to me we have members of congress who have sat on their asses doing nothing but fighting so nothing is being done. It will end up being left to the states that border Mexico to fix. I also think they are taking their time because of the oil that is in Mexico.

Bush is wrong. He's a great man and a terrific president, but even great leaders can be wrong sometimes. It's a shame he's so wrong about such an important issue.
