In 2007 the 'dagger' of an idea that killed President Bush's effort at reforming the immigration system was lax border security.

Jay Z and President Bush have a lot in common, that same brash confidence.

We must pursue immigration reform - it's something we have to do, something that starts with border security.

When you have a system that increases border security funding by about 300 percent, and it only increases funding for immigration courts by 70 percent, you have a disaster.

President Bush will show that the math speaks for itself. The bottom line is that the Social Security system, in 13 years, will be taking in less money than it's paying out. We'll go into the red.

Conservatives have always wanted border security before we had immigration reform.
