Democrats are for tougher border control. All of them. But we have a serious problem. About 11 million illegal aliens in this country. So how do you propose anyone could ever "send them back"? If you have an idea which is realistic then contact your congressman, because no one has a solution for this, just different priorities.

The GOP priority is to protect the corporate exploiters of cheap Mexican labor. That is why Bush refuses to slow down the illegal immigration. His pals make money off those cheap workers.

The Dem priority is to protect the US workingclass. But so far illegal Mexicans only seem to be doing jobs union members don't want, so they are not as alarmed. Democrats though are definitely for tougher border control and have voted for it.

Right now we have McCain and Kennedy with a compromise which Bush basically agrees with. So if anything gets signed, that will be the bill, and it won't make much difference.

Also, while the Iraq War is going we have no National Guard or kmilitary to put on the border. We can't even protect the Iraqi border. Nor the Canadian border. Nor any border.

Btw: Last time I went to Tijuana I walked back to the US down a tunnel and there wasn't a single border patrol agent there. I could have been anyone. No one even questioned me. That was two years ago with Bush in charge.
