I said:
"...sell us our sovereignty out"

Preview didn't help me that time, but I'm glad you understood I meant Sell our sovereignty out.

I'll be very angry if Bush grants amnesty to illegals, but we can fix that easier than we can fix submission to Kofi, Chirac(spit) and the like.

Let he, who never makes a typo cast the first stone. :)

I knew what you meant.

I think Bush is realistic and is doing the very best anyone can do, within the constraints he has.

Bush was elected President, not dictator. Just imagine what would happen, if he gave an order to grab all illegals, including women and children of course, and throw them across the border kicking and screaming.

I think the most important thing regarding illegal immigration is the stop it at the borders, to keep more of them from coming in. Bush did strengthen border security, but that can't be done to 100% from one day to the next.

As for the illegals who have been in the US for years and years, it is kind of hard to kick them out, as I said above. So the next best realistic option is to give them a chance to apply for legal residence, and give us a chance to do criminal background checks, then give the non-criminals legal status, but NOT government handouts.

THEN get really tough with anyone who enters the country illegally.

As I said, this may not be the "ideal solution", but it's pretty much the only realistic one.
