Holding Bush accountable for long-term problems erroneous

Re: Hold Bush accountable for not enforcing immigration laws

Of course! It’s Bush’s fault immigrants are pouring in from a country who wants them to leave. While we’re at it, let’s go ahead and blame Bush for global warming, Islam and the death of Anna Nicole Smith.

Blaming Bush for such long-term issues is pathetic. This isn’t to say he hasn’t made mistakes, but if you’re going to blame him for a nationwide problem we’ve had since Mexico invaded Texas back in the 1800’s, you’re blisslessly ignorant.

If I remember correctly, this nation was built on a platform of united statehoods. And, though united, they still held a level of personal authority and responsibility for themselves and their citizens.

Since when does all the responsibility of a state failing to enforce its own laws suddenly get thrown on the shoulders of the president?

Let’s put the blame squarely where it belongs: on the cowardly politicians we never fail to re-elect because they somehow put money in our pockets or promise that they’ll use the government to take responsibility for our lives. Hold our governor, mayors and city councils accountable for enforcing our local laws. And if we don’t have any, let’s get our ELECTED officials to finally work for what we want, instead of waiting on an obviously convoluted national platform.
