I don't suppose that it has occured to Mr. Bush that, by giving illegals amnesty, he is encouraging lawlessness.
The stupidity of this proposal amazes me.

Hopefully he doesn't care if it passes, and he's only doing some precampaign fundraising from the industries that profit from this.
But anyway, the Republicarats have always been for this. It's the most profitable position contributions-wise. And some expressly embrace the agenda that depressing the wage bargaining power of the American middle and lower classes - which si profitable, short-term, to industries that can't export jobs.
one of the gimmicks is having a "job" in the US. You can bet the house (you might as well) that there will be no oversight, or possible way to monitor the veracity of the businesses actually needing illegals, and unable to hire citizens or residents.
The "hispanic vote" is just a cover story. Hispanic citizens don't vote if we allow illegals or not. It's just a white liberal fantasy, adopted by the cheap-labor lobby and politicians who want to seem humane...it's actually an inhumane policy to actual citizens and residents.
You can count on this one coming up: driver's licenses for illegals, now legal. And driving job, trucking, eg, will be decreased to wages only non-home owning, non-family persons can manage. Naturally the transportation industry is giving big bucks for open borders, as are the hotel industry, etc.

From Decline and Fall, Chapter 31:
"At the hour of midnight the Salerian gate was silently opened, and the inhabitants were awakened by the tremendous sound of the Gothic trumpet. Eleven hundred and sixty-three years after the foundation of Rome, the Imperial city, which had subdued and civilised so considerable a part of mankind, was delivered to the licentious fury of the tribes of Germany and Scythia."

Yeah, the only thing that comes close to matching this bit of stupidity is "read my lips, no new taxes".

Fact: What was supposed to be a one and only time amnesty by Reagan has resulted in 10 to 14 million criminals living in America. They were waiting for the 2nd and last amnesty.
Questions: Ask our deceptive President when will we have the 3rd and final amnesty. What will the numbers be and what color flag will be flying over the White House when it happens?
