I'm with ya. I found the speech lacking in substance and other than a few more guards on the boarder seems to be a repeat of 20 years ago. It didn't work then and it won't work now.

Most depressing was the talk of amnesty. We don't need 12 million criminals becoming Americans even if they would assimilate. Send them to the back of the line(Mexico) behind the ones that are going through the legal process, which makes a better American, and let them start over.

We can't deport 12 million Mexicans but we can make hiring them a felony and enforce it and that would drive them back on their own. We cannot reward criminal behavior. 20 years ago we did the same thing and now we have 20-30 million to deal with. Rewarding criminals only produces more criminals.

"Up-to" 6000 guards is not going to make a difference especially since they can't do anything. Combining a bill of boarder control with amnesty is just stupid. Every one wants tighter boarders, the debate is over the amnesty. They need to separate the two and FIRST pass a bill on boarder control then on a separate ticket argue what to do with 12 million criminals. They know the only way they can get amnesty to pass is by tyeing it with boarder control.

Bushes speech was a waste of 16 minutes.
