      To be fair to Juan, he's forced to read these things. I hope they're paying him enough.

        This is way too short of a clip.I try to give Juan the benefit of the doubt but sometimes he crosses over from NPR to Faux Nous.I'd like to believe in him as a voice of reason though he does slip into faux mode sometimes.

          And of course, Juan slips into that Faux mode depending on who he's talking to at the time. He's pretty much a tool, just a little less so that Michael Steele. They must have banished him to Siberia.

      Of course that NEVER would be something they'd say about that last President (can't bring myself to utter his name). I seem to recall around 2005 there being a lame attempt by that administration to come up with a plan - and they didn't.

      Yep, that wall on the border that got stopped from being built sure goes a long way from keeping the illegal aliens from coming across. You see, the only way Obama can get re-elected is to grant amnesty for the votes because if he was on the ballot today he would loose against just about anyone.

        Yep, in the bag for the republicans in November. So much so that I wouldn't even bother to vote if I were you. Spend the day stocking up on popcorn so you can settle in for an endless stream of congressional investigations after they take the House. Some gains in the Senate will help them as well.

        The people of america, not so much, but as their actual lives are of a teriary concern anyway.

      I would not give Juan Williams the benefit of the doubt. I would give him the back of my hand. I don't know what it says about a man that he would abandon NPR and shack up with Fox, but it can't be good. In the meantime, numerous sources show that border enforcement is in fact up, and the some of the crime statistics being thrown around are hot air. The only reason Arizona Republicans have pushed 1070 and whipped up more border hysteria is to try to embarass Obama. That of course is why all Republicans do everything they are doing this year and last. And now, (perhaps becasue the flag lapel pin issue failed to get any traction in 2008), Newt Gingrich and others on the right have begun to propose laws pohibiting the application of Muslum law in the US Courts, which is every bit as important as banning the wearing of Green Bay cheese hats in the Senate. By next week Tea Partiers will begin to believe that Sharia is infiltrating our government, and they'll be out with signs about it. Etc.

        They're still pushing the story about Mexican drug cartels taking over 2 farms in a southwestern state, or some similar BS. It's been debunked, but for some reason, they seem to think it's a winning strategy. I don't suppose they've thought about it long enough to figure that if the story were true, it'd be huge, on all of the networks, the governor of the state would be on F*(hs Noose 24/7, and President Obama would have the entire region flooded with National Guardsmen/women.

      Did Williams cite any statistics on deportations and prosecutions of employers who hire undocumented workers? If he had any facts to back his assertion up he would have cited them.

      No American President has ever done anything on the border. That's why we are in this current crisis.

      I have been saying repeatedly that Juan Williams is no democratic strategist. He is paid by FOX News as to be one, but he is so weak because he is told what to say and do by Roger Ailes. Anyone defending Juan Williams should know he is What Colmes was to Hannity. He is a paid sidekick to look weak in the arguments against the Republicans. Sorry, Juan williams is not a true democrat.

      Juan does have to earn that paycheck by saying something stupid once in a while.
