But people who came here by either walking through the desert and swimming the Rio Grande, or stowaways aboard ship, or any other form of deliberate illegal entry, than they deserve no consideration, just sent back and told to follow the normal process or face jail time for their next offense.
I also understand the idea of some kind of worker program for those who want to abandon illegal crossings and apply for some kind of relief if they can prove they have a steady job here. But I think they should be made to pay extra for this consideration, and when they meet these requirements they can become part of this dream we call America.
Bottom line for me is that I will not condemn this administration for trying to solve some of these issues. I do not think he will grant any kind of blanket amnesty, and before I pass any judgment.
I will wait till I see something in writing from him or his administration. As for those who say they will not vote for Bush because of some NYT's article or a Wash Post editorial that makes all kinds of speculation on what will be in a proposal they have not seen, I consider them tools for the left. They trot these stories out in an effort to corner this President to address the issue in an open forum for political reasons.
Do you ever remember the Wash. Post or NYT's making an issue of this problem when Clinton was in office? It's just like the issue of the homeless, the only time these things are even written about is when a Republican is in office
'Night All! and thanks for making this discussion flame-free!
