In an article today, Pat Buchanan suggests that a call for impeachment be used "to get the attention of this White House" regarding the need to control the borders:
It may be the only way left to get [GWB's] attention, before the border vanishes and our beloved country dissolves into MexAmerica, what T.R. called a "polyglot boarding house for the world."
And in a speech today GWB finally appears to finally be showing some movement on this important issue:
EL MIRAGE, Ariz. -- President Bush said Monday he will work with Gov. Janet Napolitano and other border governors to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, where political leaders have been calling for help to deal with waves of illegal immigrants.
Bush told a crowd in this retirement community that he understands the federal government's obligation to enforce the border.
"It's important for the people of this state to understand, your voices are being heard in Washington, D.C.," he said.
Making reference to Sen. Jon Kyl, an Arizona Republican who introduced Bush here, the president said, "This senator and this Congress are going to work closely with the administration to make sure we have the resources necessary to do our responsibility, which is to enforce this border. And we'll do so."

#2Excellent observations.
Buchanan sez: Some courageous Republican, to get the attention of this White House, should drop into the hopper a bill of impeachment, charging George W. Bush with a conscious refusal to uphold his oath and defend the states of the Union against "invasion."
Man, I really have had no beef with Buchanan in general, but now he has truly became a political hack. This kind of rhetoric doesn't help the process much. However, I am impressed he read his pocket Constitution about protecting the US against 'invasion'. Bush's apparant lack of will to clamp down on the borders (up to this point) is quite annoying. But, if Buchanan would have continued to read the sacred text he would have found that in Article II, Section 4: "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." Therefore, Buchanan's comments are merely idiotic. What a shame!
