joe,
if the govt gave a single thought to border security, they'd have fixed the border in the 6 years since 911.
Think about it... they've destroyed and rebuilt two entire nations in that time, but haven't put up an electronice fence in that time along the border.
And, Bush announced last month another delay of THREE YEARS in even STARTING to build the electronic fense, the virtual wall.
Some think it's because he never plans on guarding the border. When you consider it'll be NINE years since 911 before day 1 of construction STARTS on a wall, you start to believe them.
