"I do not (now will I) propose such odious measures. You cannot, even at the business-end of a weapon- root and out and force out all the aliens. Such notions are naive. What you can do, is make it so unpalatable for those who don't belong here, that they choose to go home willingly."

And that's precisely what Bush's plan accomplishes.

First they register where they live and work with our government. Then they pay their fine. In return we give them a blue card to permit them to work here legally for the next 3 years.

They can even get *more* time to work here if they return home voluntarily to their countries of origin to apply for that extension. Sounds like voluntary deportation to me, doesn't it!

And the beauty of it is that those who don't wish to abide by the voluntary self-deportation are registered with our law enforcement agencies. They aren't just some anonymous member of an underground mass movement any longer. Oh no, they've registered where they live and work. Now they are far more traceable than before.

It'll never happen.

Your faith- as I said before- is admirable, but there is nothing upon which to base such faith, and plenty to dispell such wishful thinking...
