That's a good point. I'm totally opposed to the idea of anchor babies and that must be addressed in the legislation.

You're right, but unfortunately it would probably take a Constitutional Amendment to get rid of the unintended disgrace of anchor babies.

I've read extensively about the immigration issue, and I know that right now we are admitting about one million legal immigrants per year. Yet Bush says that Congress needs to increase the annual alotment of 'Green Cards" from 140,000 to some unspecified higher level.

My question is this: What exactly does a 'Green Card' entail? Is it one specific category of a visa? It can't encompass all immigration because we already admit about 8 times as many people as the limit Bush quoted. So what was he talking about?

Whatever the case, its nice to know that Bush has continued the tradition of thumbing his nose to what most polls show to be the majority position on this issue which is to reduce legal immigration, get serious about stopping illegal immigration, and not reward illegals with such things as amnesty and drivers licenses, and in-state tuition.

And does anyone really doubt that any 'guest' that wants to get permanent residency after the 3 or 6 yrs ends won't get it? Of course they will. Then they can sposor their extended families and already mass levels of legal immigration will skyrocket to even higher levels.

This should be addressed ASAP, & would be an immediate deterant, to many 'illegals' NOW & save border hospitals much money.
