Might as well join DU and other sites. Need to look at the big picture here. What are we going to do about the 8 million illegal immigrants. As the previous poster said, there will be riots if people try to deport them. Kudos to Bush for trying to figure out a solution. Cant ignore it and look for pie in the sky solutions which will never work.
And seriously, do you think Bush will ignore conservatives views completly. Congress has already indicated that its DOA whatever plan Bush brings to the table so he has to try to do something.

I am just curious which state you live in? I live near the border in Tucson and I dont think you realize the impact of illegals on crime, welfare, taxes, infrastructure, and the sense of community that they have. This is a radical change to the landscape of our society. Do you really think that this will improve our country - this is an issue that will cost Bush votes. Hispanics who believe in the rule of law and love this country will not vote for him because of this. It is only the liberal and radical border rights people that will commend him - and again they will not vote for him as well. Bush Jr. like Bush Sr. is caught up in his elitist and 'everybody must love me' attitude that will cost him votes and perhaps the election. I believe that other conservatives like me will stay away or even vote democrat because of this and other policies that Bush has enacted.
Moreover the general public will not be kindly to Bush on this - I hope that he will not be elected in 04 - even if that means we get the devil democrat. At least we will know our enemy.

So? Are we scared of rioters to the point that our laws are meaningless? If so the Republic is lost. I say enforce the laws, put down any riots that take place, and restore the Republic. Sorry if some die in the process but many more will die at the end of what Fox and Bush are cooking up.
