Do you agree with Tony the Tiger's stance on border security?

Well I wish he would elaborate his plans too.

Absolutely. Could not agree more. He's been in power nine years and suddenly he's noticed it's not working.\nCrucially too, did you spot how he says it's time to redress the balance, not between victims and criminals, but "victims and suspects"? Not that he's planning on getting tough with people convicted of crimes, but that he's planning to strip away still more rights from people who are simply accused of crimes. People fought and died for centuries to win those liberties and judicial protections but Tony "imprisonment without trial" Blair, reckons they should go. Dear God, imagine if Mrs Thatcher had come up with this lunacy. We thought she was a mad old witch, but she didn't charge us for going to university and if George Bush had told her to get busy with invading Iraq she'd have told him where to stick it.

If it goes through, I just don't think the rules will be enforced.  \n\nWhy should we think that the illegals will step forward and get this national i.d. card and pay fines and taxes?  They have not respected our laws thus far, so I don't see why they would start now.  \n\nOh, and how can the illegals prove if they have been here illegally for 2, 5, 10 years or whatever.  It's ridiculous!\n\nAs far as border security, I think it's a Band-Aid.\n\nI have been a Bush supporter forever...but here is where we part ways.

There is no border security.  Ships, their crews and cargos come and go without scrutiny.  Non-mexicans caught at the border are issued a summons to go to court and released INSIDE the US.  The only Terror that is being worked on is to terrorize the population into giving up their civil liberties, social security, and medicare, and pouring billions down the throats of Halliburton, the Carlyle Group and other Bush cronies.

The border is broken.  I have been a supporter of Bush, but I have to say, I think he dropped the ball on this one.  Putting 6000 National Guard troops is like putting a band-aid on someone who's bleeding to death.  I say this because the role of the National Guard will be a "behind-the scenes" operation.  At least something is being done, but I don't think it's enough.  This has been a problem for a very long time, and I think this should have been fixed before it got so far out of hand.  I did like what Bush said about ending the "catch and release" of illegals.  Well, to summarize...yes, he should have done more, but I suppose this is a start...One can only hope.

How intelligent can someone be if they support open borders for arguably the most terrorist threatened  country in the world and no criminal or health screening?  I mean really, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what's wrong with the illegal immigration picture.

It's a wonderful spot.  Maybe we should leave map kiosks along the border showing the way to Toronto to pick up where Fox's map to the United States leaves off...\n\nBubblehead, Fox's not owning the U.S. sure doesn't stop HIM from selling it!

Yes I Believe That\n\nA serious commitment to border security \nwould require fencing off the entire southern border—\nall 1,891 miles of it. \n(For comparison, \nwe have 40,000 miles of Maintained US Interstate Highways.)\n\nAt $1.7 million per mile \n(the cost of the first 10 mile stretch in San Diego), \nthe entire U.S.-Mexican border could be sealed off\n(all 1,891 miles of it )\nfor $3.3 billion dollars.\n\nIraq spending equivalent: 13.8 days.\n\nCost / benefit analysis, anyone? \n\n\n\n\nIf / When We MILITARIZE That Border\nThat Border WILL Be Secure

i don't want to have us look like a police state, and we already have a border patrol, so i say beef up the border patrol , or transfer forces from another Branch somehow.  point is, we need our border patrol to do it, but they need the resources.  also, thanks to any border patrol agents reading, and i would love to see some input from you.

Of course he's conservative.  He's the most conservative president in recent history.  What do Republicans do but run up the deficit?  It's practically a badge of honor with them.  As far as immigration policy, hmmmm, let's see..., why would he be soft on illegal immigration?  Oh yeah, could it be that he is so beholden to big business and big business interests that he probably doesn't scratch his head without asking their permission?  Another Republican checkpoint.  Liberals are soft on illegal immigration, too, but generally for different reasons.  And as far as big government and spying, well, all a bit fascist, isn't it?  Fascists are, by the way, considered conservatives.

I only listened to a little of his speech.  I thought that, overall, he is very conciliatory.  What was very concerning for me is the thought that the Democrats will in the next three to four years find a way to pull out of Iraq and leave it to chaos and eventual rule by Jihadists.  Unlike Vietnam, Jihadists are able and willing to attack us at home in the US.  Their goal is to convert or kill every man, woman and child. I don't want that fighting here.  I think it's time for me to take up shooting sports.

Hey, why can't we do both, enforce the existing laws, and throw the Illegals out of here. What would Mr. Fox think if he saw 12 million United States Citizens walking across the border into his country?\nI really fear that our government is going to do the wrong thing. What kind of message will it send out to the rest of the world if our government says everybody is welcome for a free ride. I think it will be the end of the United States. This is a big issue and you can bet that the "axis of evil" countries are waiting to pounce on us. They will recognize a chink in our armor.We need to put armed troops on our borders today.\nPersonally, I really don't care if they are trying to do better for their families. I served my country to do my part in ensuring freedom for My family, and My fellow Americans, not for Illegal immigrants and their families. Let those so called men, go home and serve their own countries, instead of running away from it. And I am getting tired of all those so called Americans telling me to be more tolerant. Jesus was tolerant. I am not Jesus.\nI also agree that the Catholic church needs to butt out of our National Affairs. We don't tell them how to run the Vatican.

I think that those who are concerned with this issue recognize an expensive band aid when they see it.  Others didn't care to begin with.\n\nI think he should break his program into two pieces 1) get the border security and employee immigration verification systems in place, then 2) increase future immigration through enhanced legal programs.\n\nThe path to citizenship for qualified illegals already here could start during step one, but the increased immigration going forward should not phase in until the border is demonstrably much more secure, and we have tracking programs to make sure new guest workers go home when their time is up.

Every country has a right to defend its borders. Nobody really cares what El Presidente thinks anyway. He should be working at fixing his own country and not worrying about ours. Oh and I wonder why he thinks it's okay to defend his borders.

Tony is Sicillian. He'd root for the USA.

I'm not of either party, but I'll answer anyway:\n\nBush: His tough will do attitude.  I respect him for this.  Sadly I feel like he's using it as a fear tactic and not appropriately.\n\nClinton: I respect his diplomacy. Nations actually wanted to work with us when Clinton was in charge.  \n\nIf we had a combo of both, we'd be great.

HERES You RACISM- I Hope You CHOKE On It\n\nA close, personal friendship with President George W. Bush has given Mexicos President Vicente Fox the opportunity to purposely allow (or even send) Millions of Criminals, Thugs, Anarchists, and Potential Terrorists to swarm over our southern border in breathtaking numbers. (Nearly half of all illegal aliens currently living in the U.S. came here since Bush became president in 2000.)  \n\n\n\nMexico's President Fox has been unrelenting in his brazen demands on the United States, starting with open borders even before he was elected. He has called for the border to be “a joining line.” His visits to the U.S. have been filled with endless requirements for Mexican citizens illegally in this country — free healthcare, taxpayer-subsidized in-state tuition for illegals at state colleges and universities, guestworker programs and amnesty for all. \n\n                                                             **************************\n\nMexican American Legal Defense Fund founder Mario Obledo stated, “California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn't like it should leave. Every constitutional office in California is going to be held by Hispanics in the next 20 years.  People who don't like such demographic changes “should go back to Europe.” (Incidentally,  Senor  Obledo was also the California Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Gov. Jerry Brown.) \n\nMario Obledo, California Coalition of Hispanic Organizations and California State Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Governor Jerry Brown, also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton, "California is going to be a Hispanic state.  Anyone who doesn't like it should leave." \n\n\nObledo Is A Member Of "MEChA" And "LA RAZA"\n\n                                                 ********************\n\nThe newly "ELECTED"mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa, joined the lawbreakers and proclaimed "this bill in Congress is wrong". Señor Villaraigosa said "The only thing illegal is making 11 million illegal aliens felons." Yeah, he Actually said that. People should make no mistake about it: Villaraigosa was "ELECTED" by ILLEGALs VOTING, and HIS Allegiance, along with the rest of these "ELECTED" public officials in California of Mexican ancestry is to Mexico, not California or these United States of America. Villaraigosa has spent a lifetime opposing U.S. immigration laws.\n\nVillaraigosa is A Member Of  "MEChA"  and  " LA RAZA"\n\n                                               *********************\n\nMEChA and the La Raza movement teach that Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and parts of Washington State make up an area known as "AZTLAN" -- a fictional ancestral homeland of the Aztecs before Europeans arrived in North America. As such, it belongs to the followers of MEChA. These are all areas America should surrender to "La Raza" once enough immigrants, legal or illegal, enter to claim a majority, as in Los Angeles. The current borders of the United States will  be extinguished.\n\n \n\n The Council of La Raza succeeded in having itself added to congressional hearings by Republican House and Senate leaders. And an anonymous senator even gave the Council of La Raza an extra $4 million in earmarked taxpayer money, supposedly for "housing reform," while La Raza continues to lobby the Senate for virtual open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens. \n\n\n\n               http://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=13863\n\n                      \n\n"We have an aging white America ...
