Fraud: Another Reason to Impeach Bush

Tonight, during his speech to America, George W. Bush committed another trasonable act that warrants his impeachment. He is a cancer to our country, and must be terminated. Once again...

Here's simply the blurb on CNN:

President Bush addressed the nation tonight on border security and illegal immigration -- hot topics in an election year. He navigated a political minefield, eyeing his base with a call to end the "catch and release" of illegal immigrants, and the politically vital Latino population with a path to citizenship.

OK, so Bush calls for strict enforcement of border laws. We can argue about WHY we don't always enforce the law for just the "plain old" Mexicans who come across, but this isn't the time. (I have only so much server space.)

My point is this...read here.

Yes, just over a year ago:

Officially approved by Bush on Dec. 17 after extensive bickering in Congress, the National Intelligence Reform Act included the requirement to add 10,000 border patrol agents in the five years beginning with 2006. Roughly 80 percent of the agents were to patrol the southern U.S. border from Texas to California, along which thousands of people cross into the United States illegally every year.

But Bush's proposed 2006 budget, revealed Monday, funds only 210 new border agents.

...

The law signed by Bush had a caveat that went virtually unreported at the time. A summary, published by the Senate Government Affairs Committee, required the government to increase the number of border patrol agents by at least 2,000 per year, "subject to available appropriations."

Democrats were unhappy that the proposed budget used the escape clause so soon after the president approved the huge boost in border agents.

"We know we must do more to shore up security along our borders," said Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, top Democrat on the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee. "The president's budget does not even attempt to meet this challenge."

Yeah, the Democrats are soft on homeland security. You can either believe what the Repulicans say, or believe what they do.

I believe what they do.

That's why I'm a Democrat.
