Don't kid yourself. You can send them 200 million faxes and it won't change a thing.
Rove and Bush don't want to stop illegal immigration. They did nothing when Bush was governor of Texas. They did nothing for 6 years when Bush was president. They allowed the border to remain a cake walk for so many years. They refuse to prosecute employers who cheat the tax code and employ the workers here illegally. Last time I checked tax evasion was a serious crime . . . try to not pay your taxes and see what happens to you.
Bush's proposals are a joke.
He never mentioned penalties for employers who hire illegals. Anyone who comes here illegaly is going to be looking for some kind of employment, no ifs, ands or buts. If employers face a huge fine, the problem solves itself.
How many employers were fined for hiring illegal workers during the 6 years Bush has been president?
You're right about Bush not mentioning fining employers. All this about border sercurity is a rouse.
He said:
Third, we need to hold employers to account for the workers they hire. It is against the law to hire someone who is in this country illegally.
Penalties are already in place, ICE needs to enforce it. To be fair, they have done some raids (people arrested, fines paid), but they need to step it up.
