The unintended consequences and hidden costs of this plan will be staggering. Bringing the underground economy of illegal aliens into full legal status will bring with it enormous expenses. The courts will ensure these people will be treated as citizens in all important respects. Schools and hospitals will have to make immediate provisions for them and all their children without qualification. Look for higher taxes at the state level (being in lower paying jobs, they will paying proprotionately less for the costs of their being here).

They will take on enormously expensive rights granted under liberal Domcrat labor laws. They will organize into unions and use other means to force their wages higher. When they become citizens, they will vote 4 to 1 for liberal Democrats.

This will be the equivalent of bringing an entire new state of 9 million liberal Democrats into the union.

Retired Army General Dave Heister once told me the best solution is statehood for Mexico - that way they'd have obey our constitution!

Take it easy on this one - I don't agree with him.

Bush's spinmasters are out in full force in this thread. I knew they would be. I guess they got their talking points from Karl Rove this morning and are on the job.

You are so right Kevin. It's what they do now, the unions back them and march them around demanding health care. I've seen it with my own eyes. This really makes me ill.

I'm writing int Tancredo. This is really disgusting!

True, and I don't understand what Bush thinks he's doing. If he thinks he can use the American taxpayer's good will to sit back and accept the flaunting of our laws in exchange for future votes, he's in for a double surprise. Dubya has forgotten who brought him to the dance, and his Hispanic illegals won't be there for him either.

"It's the borders, stupid!". His father forgot the basics. Dubya has made such a noise over protecting America from overseas enemies, when all they'd have to do is fly into Mexico and sneak over the border with everyone else. Homeland Security doesn't work at our southern borders and everyone knows it.
