#1 [sigh]. That's "promise," of course. I originally wrote it as "primose," and when I saw it in Preview, "corrected" it.

#2 I think this is where Bush moved all those Civil Service protected American buearucrats who previously worked on UN issues. I'm sure we're in for 'study', 'planning', 'options', 'impact statements', 'meetings' and more requests for funding.

#3 Got a call from the RNC last week. I told them 'Not a freakin' dime until that border's secured'. I then got a boilerplate message about the difficulties in managing numerous priorities, etc. at which point I hung up.

#4 I'm still waiting to see the 500 or so agents we were promised this summer after the border watchers showed up in May (sorry, forgot what they were called....the ones the ACLU got their panties in a wad over).

#5 I'll believe it when I see it. The posting of the entire armored texas national guard brigade on the border of texas/mexico would be a good start.

#6 Federal authorities have outlined a plan to help Arizona crack down on human smuggling,..

Why just Arizona? Seems to me such an activity wouldn't necessarily be confined to AZ only, but would occur anywhere along the border from the Pacific to the Gulf.

Secure the entire border, please.

#7 A government that will not practice the sovereignty to protect it's own borders is illegitimate. All this other talk is misdirected. it's about sovereignty.

#8 I think that one of the avenues we can pursue is FAXED letters to the President at the White House. They should state that:
*We are in a war against an enemy that has vowed the destruction of our republic;
*This enemy has committed acts of war against the United States;
*The President has taken the war to the enemy in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other foreign lands to protect our citizens;
*Airlines, highways, ports, and other points of entry have been provided with heightened security to meet the threat of terrorist attacks;
*The southern border is still wide open and is letting in illegals with no controls, which negates the efforts done to date, including the efforts and sacrifices of our troops.
*The President, as Chief Executive of the Government, needs to enforce the laws regarding our borders. That is one of his sworn duties as President.
*If the President does not enforce the law, then he sends a message to the citizens of the United States that it is all right to not obey our laws. A message like this will destroy the fabric holding this country together and it will weaken and fall.
*If the President does not secure our borders and enforce the laws concerning immigration and the hiring of illegal aliens, his benign neglect will destroy his presidency and the Republican Party. The public is getting fed up with the inactions of the President and the Congress with respect to the borders and illegal immigrants.

Those are my thoughts so far.

#9 what Alaska Paul said, and to only add to that not allow the folks here breaking the law by being here illegally to get citizenship automatically.
