Report critical of Bush immigration record
Why would President Bush start enforcing immigration laws after a new bill when he is not doing it now?
CNN-WASHINGTON (AP) — Immigration arrests under President Bush are “stagnant and unimpressive” despite massive increases in Border Patrol agents and other immigration enforcement measures imposed since 2000, a report found.
Bush promoted border enforcement successes this week while pushing Congress for a comprehensive immigration policy overhaul. But the centrist private group Third Way questioned his record in a study released Thursday. It found that arrests and deportations are down almost 30 percent since the Clinton years.“The decline in immigration enforcement has been steady, dramatic and long-standing,” said Jim Kessler, the group’s vice president for policy and a co-author of the report. “This may not be the cause of our illegal immigration crisis, but it has certainly contributed to it.”
Bush does not want to stop them.
Pity the people who enter Mexico illegally and get caught, including Americans.
Pity Bush’s veto record too, especially when the republicans controlled congress.
As far as this issue, neither party wants to stop it.
“Why would President Bush start enforcing immigration laws after a new bill when he is not doing it now?”
Damn it! Because he’s our president.
And because he’s never lied to us before.

LOL Thanks I feel much better now!
LOL also. Did it actually stopped being enforced during Bush’s terror reign or by previous administrations? Has it ever been enforced?
The funniest thing to see is the corporate minions tiptoe through their “K Street” talking points just like like Tiny Tim.
