Not sure, but sometimes think Bush assumes Americans are as stupid as he is.  Calling out a small handful of National Guard who have no enforcement ability, and putting only 1500 of the promised 6,000 anywhere CLOSE TO THE BORDER with Mexico is NOT BORDER SECURITY, and does not mean he has SECURED our border with Mexico, let alone ended the influx of criminal illegal aliens.  Yet, on his weekly radio address he was wanting to claim he's kept his promise to the American people, and it was time for Congress to keep their promise by delivering to him a comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill for his signature that includes AMNESTY, and a Guest Worker Program (DELAYED AMNESTY).

Enough pandering to the rich and elite, it is time to take steps to protect America's lower and middle class citizens, and this starts by ENDING the flow of CHEAP LABOR into our country.  This means NO AMNESTY, and NO GUEST WORKER program.  It means holding corporations and America's supposed Small Business community accountable by enforcing our work place laws regarding the hiring if illegals. It means putting a stop to the Catholic Church aiding and abetting illegal aliens in being in America illegally.  It means putting and end to SAFE HAVEN communities, and authorizing all levels of law enforcement to arrest and detain those in America illegally.  It means denying illegal aliens, and THEIR CHILDREN services, including access to medical treatment, and access to our educational system. It means closing the loop hole that so far has created almost 4 million ANCHOR BABIES.

The Congress needs to hold strong, and INSIST that America will accept only a ENFORCEMENT ONLY BILL.  One that builds a wall on our Southern Border, one that puts 60,000 armed troops on that border with the right where necessary to use DEADLY FORCE...stop your whining, how many rapes, murders and brutal attacks do we need to hear about before accepting the fact we have a problem with those flooding into America?

CRAWFORD, Texas - With 6,000 National Guard troops deployed to Southwestern states, President Bush said Saturday he has fulfilled his pledge to help beef up border security and challenged Congress to give him legislation that will welcome more foreigners into the country.

Speaking in his weekly radio address, Bush said immigration reform can only be successful if the get-tough border security to keep people from sneaking in is combined with opportunities for more immigrants to enter the country legally.

"By passing comprehensive immigration reform, we will uphold our laws, meet the needs of our economy and keep America what she has always been — an open door to the future, a blessed and promised land, one nation under God," Bush said Saturday. He recorded the remarks Friday from his ranch near Crawford, Texas, where he is on a 10-day vacation from the White House.

Bush wants to provide more temporary worker permits for foreigners willing to take low-wage jobs and allow illegal immigrants working in the United States for some time to become citizens. But Congress has been unable to agree on such legislation.

Conservatives in Bush's party have stood firm against his plans and say the U.S. should instead strengthen security along the border to keep illegal immigrants out.

In an attempt to appease them, Bush announced in May that he would send 6,000 National Guard troops to the border by Aug. 1.

"The arrival of National Guard units has allowed the Border Patrol to move more agents into front-line positions, and this additional manpower is delivering results," Bush said in the radio message. "With the support of the National Guard, Border Patrol agents have seized over 17,000 pounds of illegal drugs and caught more than 2,500 illegal immigrants since June 15th."

Bush didn't mention that only about half of the troops assigned to the four states bordering Mexico are on duty along the border. Many are still in training, the Guard said Monday.
