While I don't like this and it is probably no solution at all to the problem, I don't see a quick solution. At least there is now an official admission in the Admin that there is a problem.

The Bush proposal is national suicide, pure and simple.

I smell another disinformation campaign! I have a hunch the President is about to blind side the bashers on both sides of the aisle...again!

Thank you George Bush.

Thanks for pandering to the Hispanic vote for the upcoming election at the expense of national security and the welfare of our children.

Thanks for slapping legal immigrants in the face...thisewho did their paperwork, waited their turn, and came to this country legally to make a better life for their families.

Thanks for rewarding criminals who cut ahead of law abiding people, sneak into our country, steal education and medical benefits from citizens who pay for them, avoid taxes themselves, and send our money back to Mexico.

Thanks for allowing another loophole certain to be exploited by those meaning harm to the U.S., similar to the Saudi immigration loophole which allowed 15 of 19 9/11 hijackers to illegally enter the country.



Besides the obvious slap in the face to those entering legally, it is also estimated that this move will add an additional 350 billion dollar burden to Social Security over the next 20 years.
So you can look forward to our PonziScheme Congress resolving this problem by RAISING your retirement age again....OR by raising the tax ceiling on income.

Our kids will be so proud of us!

Thank you so much George Bush. And additional thanks to all the blind sheep conservatives clamming up and going with the party.
Democratic Lite....raise a glass and ring in the dangerous socialist state!

Amnesty for illegals de-values American citizenship even more. Why not just start paying welfare and providing free healthcare directly to people living in Mexico? Shoot, throw in some retirement income, too.

Bush, say goodbye to my vote if this passes. Republican party say goodbye to me if you are idiots enough to get this pass.

On the other hand, it is stunning that there is a whole economy that the Feds aren't trying to get their hands in somehow. How hard can it be to match jobs to willing workers? Don't minimimum wage laws apply everywhere in the U.S.?

Bush might as well strap on a TNT belt and walk into RNC headquarters and blow himself up if he follows through with this act of stupidity.

Vincente Fox must have convinced him that he has 8 million Latina virgins waiting for him upstairs.

[Reactionary]

I'm so angry about this proposal I can't see straight.

If playing by the rules gets you so little, and breaking the law gets you so much, I can't think of a single reason why my participation in such a corrupt system is worthwhile.

If citizenship is to be extended to people who have done nothing to deserve it, citizenship is meaningless.

I will not vote for the Republican Party if they do this. Being an American citizen is not something to be granted to lawbreakers and opportunists.
