I completely approve of better patrols on our southwest border, but shouldn't we bring the troops home so we can pay for it?

If this bill will truly help border security then I can agree with this. I fear it's just a political ploy though and is probably very weak legislation.
I believe its another one those "use this money to make it look like your doing something but don't actually do anything" ploys meant to con the public so weeks or months later they can claim they tried and how we need amnesty.
Is Obama trying to keep them out, or help them get in?
“While ICE reports internally that more than 90 percent of ICE detainees are first encountered in jails after they are arrested by local police for criminal charges, ICE senior leadership misrepresents this information publicly in order to portray ICE detainees as being non-criminal in nature to support the Administration's position on amnesty and relaxed security at ICE detention facilities.
The majority of ICE ERO Officers are prohibited from making street arrests or enforcing United States immigration laws outside of the institutional (jail) setting. This has effectively created "amnesty through policy" for anyone illegally in the United States who has not been arrested by another agency for a criminal violation.”
“ICE Detention Reforms have transformed into a detention system aimed at providing resort like living conditions to criminal aliens. Senior ICE leadership excluded ICE officers and field managers (the technical experts on ICE detention) from the development of these reforms, and instead solicited recommendations from special interest groups. The lack of technical expertise and field expertise has resulted in a priority of providing bingo nights, dance lessons and hanging plants to criminals, instead of addressing safe and responsible detention reforms for non-criminal individuals and families. Unlike any other agency in the nation, ICE officers will be prevented from searching detainees housed in ICE facilities allowing weapons, drugs and other contraband into detention centers putting detainees, ICE officers and contract guards at risk.”
I wouldn't put it past him. I mean, the guy does sue states that dare attempt at helping the government enforce border security. I won't judge the bill until I know what's in it. But lately the Democrat party has been labeling bills as "helping the poor" or "creating job" that really don't help the poor or create jobs at all. It's all politics and no substance.
it doesn't matter what obama does or does not do, people like you are never happy. great.
Prof,
I wonder where all the criticism was when GWBush did very little about illegal immigration when boarder security was of vital importance in a post-9/11 America?
I wonder why there was little focus on protecting our southwester boarder when it's been very well known that Mexicans were entering this country illegally and you had reports that Al-Quaida operatives looking at coming into the U.S. via Mexico? Could it be that the only published reports to the public were of those operatives who tried to come through Canada instead that garnered the most media attention and we have stronger economic and national security ties with our northern neighbor than we do with our southern one?
The hypocricy that stems from this illegal immigration issue is just unfathomable!!!
Protect our norther boarder from one or two known terrorist who the media reported on after 9/11, but do very little about the biggest gapping whole anyone w/enough money who looks "Mexican" can come through nearly at will.
Scare the public about dirty bombs in cargo shipping containers at nearly every one of our customs ports, but do little to nothing about making them more secure.
(Republicans) Make such a big stink about illegals gaining U.S. citizenship, i.e., the 14th Amendment argument, but are quick to condemn any effort to shore up boarder security by this President.
You guys are a riot!!! You'll complain about anything so long as in your minds it makes you look good to your voters. Un-freakin-believable!!! :doh
