"No president has enforced the borders against illegals in the last 20 years."
Correct
That's not exactly "an invasion."
Incorrect
Anyway, these people are working here, aren't they?
Incorrect. Let me dispell a myth for you real quick with facts. 35% of LEGAL immigrants are on welfare or some form of government subsidy. The cliche that oooo these people are working oooo they are working. Some yes some not but of those that come in 1)pay NO federal income taxes as they make below 24,000/yr. 2)Are uneducated and underskille. 3)Carry no medical insurance. 3)Require federal assistance via bilingual education etc etc. I could go on and on about this and show you the LEGAL immigrants cost this country more then they put in. But what is the use.
"They're keeping your vegetable prices low. "
Ends justify the means argument.
"I see Bush's plan as a way to initiate a discussion on this subject."
Yes and No. I see it as more of another Programme used to get more votes.
"It will likely not be what he wants, nor will it be the full amnesty that Democrats want. "
He should never have proposed such an outlandish plan. It should have been fine tuned.
Something's got to be done, and he's making an attempt, short of deporting 10 million people, which the American people WILL NOT STAND FOR."
Really? Can you speak for "The American people?"
Polls proove you false.

(Most of the FReepers opposed to illegal immigration are opposed to immigration/immigrants entirely.)
