Maybe that's a big problem among those whose identity and sense of self-worth and purpose in life has been so much shackled to their self-inflicted angst against humans they deem as ILLEGALS, that once there are no more ILLEGALS they face a certain, dreadful, and apoplectic Dark Night of the Soul.

Well. after three years of torturously debating the initial "problem identification" phase of this daunting illegal immigration project, at least we can now move onto debating the "action plan" phase. There's a plan on the table. Alternative proposals are now being accepted.

That's not as fun for the stalwarts, because the first phase is a process of painful, grievous testimonials of ongoing injury. That process has powered this debate almost exclusively here.

Hopefully, the energy here can now transition to Bush opponents presenting their proactive, politically plausible alternatives to the proposal the President just presented. I'd like to see this debate become more solution oriented on FR.*
