This is a trial balloon sent up by the Bush administartion to see if amnesty is feasable in the current political atmostphere. Prior to 9-11, 80%-85% of American's opposed amnesty and I don't think thats changed in two years.

Personally, I think PresBush would be seriously damaging his re-election chances by offering to give any form to amnesty to illegal aliens. But then again, I thought the USSC would throw out CFR. So what do I know.

Since Bush receieved little opposition from within the GOP's majority base of conservatives, on legislation that ranged from increased spending on education, farm subsidies and the new Medicare PDP, may be the Bush people think this is the right time to seek passage of some limited amnesty program. Say for about five million illegals.

Wonder if Bush, Cheney and Rove feel that confident about re-election and are that willing to spend political capital on the issue of amnesty. We shall see.

Wonder if they're that confident that Dean has the nomination

Some of the others, particularly Kucinich, have shown a concern for US workers. He supports those who are here, I think, but at least he opposes NAFTA and WTO and wants living wages for foreigners in their own lands be a pre-condition for trade with the US.

Hopefully the Dems that want to take down Dean will see that the border is a real issue that can get them a lot of votes, and support what 80-85% of US citizens want on this issue.

Could be wrong, but this issue is too polarizing in the party and I think Bush will see substantial opposition in the House to any amnesty attempt.

Strange though how all of a sudden we're hearing about amnesty considering the CLEAR Act has a chance of passing which would compel BICE to enforce the law.

HUH! LOL!

The American people have been screaming for, voting for, passing initiatives, propositions, and begging our so-called leaders to end this brutal immigration nightmare for YEARS.

And you say the Bush administration is putting up this trial balloon to see if it's feasible???

Oh Lord, this is too funny........Thanks for the belly laugh....
