Bush's speech.
Mood:  not sure
Topic: Politics
I watched Bush's last night, and I thought that he did a good job of delivering it...he only fumbled over three words...not bad for him.

I liked some of it...I thought most of what he said was either right on the money or was a "duh!" moment. His first part of us needing to secure the border...ya think so W? I mean, I thought that having illegals and possibly terrorists crossing our southern border was fine...it's been that way for decades, why change now? Oh yeah...that little thing called 9-11. But that was 5 years ago!!!! This shouldn't even be an issue by 2006...or borders should have been locked down tighter than my fridge would be if I invited Michael Moore over for a drink. (FYI - my drink would contain ice, Triple Sec, Tequila & Margarita mix...Michael Moore's would contain the same with a slight aftertaste of Drain-o!) :)

The temp guest worker program is a good idea. I mean, people are already coming over the border to work for a few years before returning to their homeland to be with their families. This way, we know who is coming in, we match them with a job, and then we can keep better track of them...and know when they are leaving. Sounds like a plan to me. At least this way we can legalize that portion of border crossers and make them into temporary tax payers also! Not to mention that we will...er...should know who and where they are.

But after listening to talk radio today...I'm kinda slipping on the "technology fence" thingy/idea. A good point was brought up that we supposedly used that in Iraq...and that is obviously working well, since the "insurgents" are actually foreign terrorists from Iran, Syria and other hostile nations over there. So with a track record like that...how could it NOT work over here??
