"1) What is wrong with Bush's plan for amnesty?" Illegal is illegal and as the commander in chief he should be defending our borders not whoring them out.

"2) What is the alternative solution." Enforce the damn laws on the books and deport illegals.

If your argument is legality -- then it seems amnesty solves it by satisfying the legal requirement. Anything else?

Perhaps even many Freepers have bought the conventional, PC-tainted wisdom that illegal aliens, particulary those from Mexico (by far constituting the vast majority of illegals), are all noble workers seeking jobs Americans refuse to perform. That is true in some cases, of course. But we here in Southern California know that many illegal aliens from Mexico are far from the cream of their society. Many are illiterate in Spanish, and therefore not fit for many jobs. Others are habitual criminals. The jail and prison populations in California bear this out.They account for a huge percentage of car thefts in SoCA, for instance. Many of these cars go to Mexico and are driven by police and other government officials. This is not racism; this is fact.So, President Bush, think twice and think again before granting another amnesty by whatever name.

Yea, and when we enforce the border laws, don't just bus 'em down to Tijuana - drop 'em off in Cozumel or Merida - someplace that will take them a while to get back to the US.

Folks don't seem to realize that the carrot & stick approach doesn't mean much unless you use BOTH the carrot & the stick.
