"So your answer to the problem is to just wait until we loose?"
No, of course that is not my answer. The answer is to seal our Northern and Southern borders, and to enforce them. Force everyone entering the USA to go through one of our official border crossings and present the papers required to enter the USA.
Dealing with those already here through deportation is simply not going to work. It's not going to happen. It's impossible, especially since nobody is required to present identification in this country without good cause.
Reagan and Congress provided amnesty to 4 million. Bush and Congress is about to provide it to 12 million. Reagan did nothing to secure the borders against additional illegals. Will Bush and the current Congress? I certainly hope so, although I am not convinced.
It seems that a lot of frustration being expressed on this board is due to the inelibility of people to drop the notion that the US is some sort of sovereign entity with a distinct national identity and set of cultural values.
That may have been true during the first 200 years, and probably reached its highest point right after WWII, but those days are long gone. It appears the greatest resistance to the reality of the current situation is held by individuals who look back with certain fondness at those days of national unity.
No action on the part of Congress is the same as amnesty. The real driver isn't individual illegals, but their progeny. And no, Mildred, the 14th is not going to be overturned - these kids are US citizens.
It's sort of like the 5 stages of grief: many are still in the anger/depression stage. Once you get over those last stages and let go of the past, then you can become comfortable with the way things ARE.
Drop the emotion, get smart, and figure out a way to take advantage while the getting's good, otherwise you'll be left holding the bag with nothing to show for it.
Cheers.
