Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli spoke out Wednesday, asking officials within his jurisdiction to not accept the ID cards because a carrier could be ''an illegal alien, criminal or potential terrorist.'' He also cited FBI warnings of ID forgeries. But about 2 million cards have been issued in the past two years and there isn't an ID on the planet that someone hasn't tried to forge. Mr. Morganelli is out of step with the current thinking of Homeland Security, the officials entrusted to protect us on American soil. Rather than push Mexicans and others who aren't citizens further underground, the United States should instead work to identify them.

BS, BS, BS! This is an editorial from Allentown, PA regarding last week's trial balloon. Too little, too late. President Bush today said that his administration is totally against a blanket amnesty.

An elected official (Morganelli, County DA) says something that makes sense, and the liberal press goes after him with guns blazing. They say he's out of step. Well, maybe out of step with them. He's right in line with what most of us think!!

The government would legalize the status of those already in the country on a one-time basis

That's what they told us last time, I didn't believe it then, I sure as hell don't believe it now.

It's not a blanket amnesty, it's an amnistía del serape.

First of all, we've heard that song before about going forward with a more restrictive policy. Rememember the amnesty of 1986?

Secondly, I'm sure members of terrorist cells in our country will voluntarily step forward to be identified. Our leaders are selling us out!!

Security Secretary Tom Ridge said Tuesday it's time for a legal status short of citizenship for 8 to 12 million illegal immigrants from various countries.
