The Bush Legacy

So, today Bush signed the bill to create "The Fence" along the US/Mexico border.
Funny that he's touting it as a way to secure our borders. I wonder what he means by that...to secure the borders from illegal immigrants, or from the terrorists his war in Iraq has given birth to? Think about it, his war has made us more hated then ever before, so he thinks we need to build a fence to keep the bad guys out. And since they don't even know how much the fence is gonna cost, i'm sure we'll be paying for it long after he is out of office.

As for the immigration situation, as much as i'd love to just blame Bush for everything, you have to look at employers in our country for providing a pro-illegal worker environment. They're cutting their costs by providing low wages, so who's fault is it? Plus, aren't we creating a nation of lazy kids who are afraid to get their hands dirty? When I was a kid, I started working at 15 and a half yrs. old, and one of my first jobs was on a farm. I think we're breeding a nation of elitist kids who think they're better then the rest of the world due to this. Kids that don't know the value of hard work, plus it creates an underlying view of the immigrants that do the hard work, which I think gives rise to never ending racial stereotypes.

Personally, I think it's high time that our country starts to think about the Bush legacy and maybe even consider impeaching this loser before he does even more damage.
Don't let his fence give false security in the fear driven US that he's created. That's really what it comes down to. Everytime things seem calm, we get a new warning about some terrorism crap, which makes people fearful. If you look at his ratings, they always get a wee little bump everytime he makes some BS speech about a near miss we just avoided.
