Rep. Tancredo statement of State of the Union speech

The President’s comments tonight regarding immigration raise several questions in my mind. Why is it so difficult for the President to integrate the concept of border security into homeland security? Is there anyone on the planet who does not realize that terrorists take advantage of porous borders? Is it possible that any President would put the economic interests of corporations addicted to cheap labor ahead of the safety of American men, women and children?

Until President Bush tells us he is willing to do everything possible to stop illegal immigrants from crossing our borders— including the commitment of military assets to the task—I can only assume the worst with regard to his motives. When the President tries to make us believe that open borders equals national security he loses all credibility. [Italics added.]
