"Bush’s proposal is supposed to be more of a general framework than a detailed program and no actual legislation implementing it has been introduced as of this writing. But if anything like it does become law, it will stand as the most disastrous action of his presidency. Despite all the cosmetic improvements to border security the Bush amnesty-by-another name plan is said to contain -- to make it, as the Washington Post reported, “more palatable to conservatives -- in reality it takes already porous borders and pries them further open still at the expense of American taxpayers and workers. Amnesties send an unmistakable message to would-be illegal aliens that a country’s borders are not to be respected and its immigration laws are not to be taken seriously. The end result is more illegal immigration: After the last amnesty in 1986 (and after it became clear that the federal government was not serious about enforcing the sanctions against employers of illegal workers that were adopted at the same time to make that legislation “more palatable to conservatives” also), the population of illegals increased from about 2.7 million then to 8 to 12 million today. “Temporary workers” have a similar result. As John O’Sullivan, editor of The National Interest and an editor-at-large of National Review, recently wrote, “Experience from Germany to California shows that ‘guest-worker’ programs invariably increase illegal immigration since they create welcoming cultural enclaves of foreign nationals into which the ‘illegals’ promptly vanish without trace.”
Let's pray Dubyuh's just disingenuously proposing this to curry favor with the Hispanic vote and has no misconception that this blockheaded legislation will ever pass with a GOP Congress!!

"While Pres. Bush was quoted saying that, "I oppose amnesty, placing undocumented workers on the automatic path to citizenship," many conservative groups like the Federation for American Immigration Reform (fairus.org) insist that his "proposals for a massive new 'guestworker' program" would threaten homeland security, grant amnesty for law-breakers (a step overwhelmingly opposed by the American public), establish a backdoor immigration program, and threaten the jobs and wages of American workers. In fact, three dozen House Republicans had already sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, "strongly and unequivocally" opposing mass amnesty for illegal immigrants; this letter becomes particularly important now with Pres. Bush's announcement. Today, we're asking you to sign on to that letter to Sec. Ridge, with copies to President Bush, your two Senators and your Congressman. As proud Americans, we must strongly and unequivocally oppose mass amnesty for people who violate our immigration laws. Mere discussion of the possibility of amnesty encourages illegal immigration. We must enforce the immigration laws currently on our books rather than dangle the prospect of citizenship in front of potential immigration lawbreakers. We must increase immigration law enforcement, not only at borders but in the interior, making it more costly for lawbreakers to disregard our immigration laws."
Do yer part to save Dubyuh from hisself!!

This is a tough one. Is he worth saving? What would increase the illegal alien count more, 4 years of a Dem, or 4 more years of whatever Bush is.
With Bush we would get better judicial nominees. Otherwise it's a wash. Even his War on Terror is compromised by his shielding of the House of Saud.
Definitely voting Tancredo in the Primary. After that we'll see.
More and more conservative folks are asking exactly that question...MUD
Ummmmmm, why would this savvy politician risk being manuvered into a situation whereby he could be labeled a manipulative liar if he didn't or doesn't diliver what he's proposed?
You have little understanding of how politics work in 2004 whatwith the mediots a.ka Liberal-Socialist wing of the 'Rat Party.
This POTUS hasn't the *luxury* of blaming the thieves in the Congress or Senate if this fails.
The left would jump on the chance to question his effectiveness & control with *both* Pubbie controlled houses so, failure -- even an engineered one -- isn't an option; &, if this really were, in fact, "the plan"?
The left just has to be licking their chops at the mere prospect of such a boner.
The 'Rats & their immense sycophant media will set out in earnest proving their case to the public that this POTUS is a liar & *not* to be trusted IF he cannot control his own party?
No.
*This* POTUS is quite adament on this issue.
He's hellbent to prove his sincerity & insodoing demonstrating he's "a man of his word," a Republican who's also a defender of the downtrodden.
Why I'd say it's the very essence of "compassionate conservatism" we're witnessing!!
Yes, actions designed to endear & earn him the love and admiration of millions & millions of...illegal aliens?
Illegal aliens who may not be able to vote now but, they will soon enough.
See, he might be gambling on the fact these future "new citizens" might actually vote for him, I'd suspect.
Nevermind he'll be long gone by then & no one -- no one -- will remember his name; except, those who'll be dealing with the reprocussions of his irresponsible decision for generations to come.
You just don't "get it," Mud.
Since I love ya man, I know *that* is because you're thick. :o)
Watch out, because this Republican's going to *sieze* the Hispanic vote much the same way he did the Jewish voter; as, evidenced in the most recent poll?
Sheer genius.
Yup, I can see it now: build a political "tower of babel" climbing right on up & into Heaven on the hearts & hopes of a dead culture.
*That's* the ticket!!
"...and has no misconception that this blockheaded legislation will ever pass with a GOP Congress!!"
Ahhhhh yes, silly me.
It's the infamous "CFR Strategy," eh?
Well blow me down, if it ain't *I* who's really the *thick* one, after all.
...got it. {thumbs-up} ;^)

Dubyuh's Amnesty program fer 8-12 Million law-breakers is indefensible on every level...even if it is craven political posturing, it reflects very badly on his judgment.
FReegards...MUD
Have reconciled that much & I suggest you do, too.
...& then move on.
I still think a second Contract with America would do wonders fer this Party that has so obviously lost its way...MUD

Yeah ! You like it okay ? :O)
ha ! Nah ! She is just fine. She's not much into computers and all that. Well, when she needs to use the computer for something she just lets me know and I help her find what she's looking for. Usually something for her store, ya see ...
