Most of the comments here suggest that a great many of you have either read or heard about this plan through a very narrow prism. A more thoughtful reaction would be to understand that you cannot manage anything that you cannot control. The phrase "measure twice, cut once" comes to mind. Everyone of us KNOWS that no politician on either side of the aisle is going to enforce border protections. It is the new third rail of politics. So, essentially just get over it.

Now, if the borders are not going to be enforced, and I repeat, we all know that they will NOT be, then the next best thing, is to extract whatever positives from the reality as we can. I for one, do not care if this plan is blatant pandering on Bush's part, because it is clear that it is better for us and the country if Bush is reelected, instead of some Democrat. Reagan did things I didn't like, like raising taxes, but who here would suggest that if given the chance they would not vote for him again?

To those of you demanding attention by suggesting that you will not vote for Bush, just shut up. Most of us do not care. Your silly stance wont gain you anything, and if you think most of us are nodding our heads in agreement, we aint, okay? Try to remember that the President belongs to everyone, not just Conservatives. If you think any President is going to walk lockstep with any viewpoint on every issue, please grow up.

Hell, how many argument among Conservatives break out here every damn day?
