Since it's doubtful the Pres. is going to close our borders now. (he didn't close them after 9-11) He could announce that part of his 'immigration reform' will be to CLOSE the REVOLVING DOOR on our southern border.

Bush should tell Fox that effective immediately any of his citizens caught crossing, will be identified, & banned (?) years from the 'guest worker program' to legally enter the USA (you know Bush is working on). These folks are breaking laws & should be penalized, instead of just 'set free' to try again,(some 15 times) until they finally make it.

This would 'free up' BP agents time, to better do their job. Should cut down on the demands for 'coyotes', & diminish some of the tons of trash they leave. Also might cut down on many of the deaths we hear so much about.

If Bush is offering an incentive to come legally, it should be backed up by the DEMAND that they follow the 'new law', or suffer the penalties.

All of your 'might's are absolutely correct. But he needs to listen to somebody besides his current advisers to know that we want this stuff to stop...

Sorry, I find this sadly humours. Bush is not a friend of the American citizen. Clinton wanted to be known as the first black president, Bush wants to be known as the first president of the western hemisphere. They are both sick and corrupt.

That's the key to all of this. Have a guest worker program and anyone found entering the country who does not have a permit will be immediately deported and will be excluded from ever being eligible for the program. Also, if any guest worker is found to have broken any rule, including voting in a US election, they will be immediately deported and permanently excluded.
