Exit stratefy....don't spend all of the tax dollars chasing, identifying, arresting, incarcerating, and deporting the very people who may want to contribute to the solution of the problem. Your position that ALL illegal immigrants are here to look just for freebies is not defensable. It is only your assumption. Give us some numbers.....I'm sure you know exactly how may illegal immigrants out of the 8 million show up each and every day for welfare checks, food stamps, hospital treatment, and etc. People immigrate here because in their heart they want to be free and have a better chance and opportunity to live their lives. Sure there are some free loaders....we got them kind who are born here and never had to cross a river, desert, or ocean. I'd trade everyone of them for 10 illegals who wanted to participate, pay taxes (SS) and prove 10 years down the line that they were American citizens by how they contributed over the last decade, not just because their parents born and raised them and they got some kind of birthright or inheritance coming. Please....

Some insightful advice in life: Any time you can use the problem to solve the solution and it cost you nothing, I suggest you do it. "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth"

Thanks for the reply!

You misunderstood what I meant by exit strategy. I meant that no one has said, nor will they, what will happen after three years of the "amnesty" goes by. Will millions more have streamed into the US during the three year period and after? Answer: of course they will have and will continue to enter the country illegally. No one has said what they will do to stop the inflow as an "exit strategy" from the policy.

I did not say that all illegals are here just to get the freebies, but many are. What makes you think that many illegals are now contributing to SS and paying taxes? I know a lot of them that are paid in cash who pay no taxes nor do they pay SS. Even the gummint does not know if there are now 8 or 12 or 14 million illegals already here. How can they possibly control incoming illegals if they have no idea now how many there are now here?

Oh, and where is the gift horse of illegal immigration? I need to take a close look at its rotten teeth as this is surely no gift to our nation, but rather a huge, rapidly growing burden on the taxpaying citizens who are here legally.

The onus is on Mexico.

All Bush has to do is demand and present Fox with a bill for all the social services that Mexicans collect from the American taxpayer. But will Bush do that for Americans? NO, as he would lose the hispanic vote.

V. Fox would close the borders in a heartbeat if he knew he had to pay for the illegals. When Canadians use our hospitals, we bill Canada. Why not Mexico? After all, V. Fox claims these illegals are his citizens as they will have dual citizenship.
