"President Bus is lacking in diligience in enforcing our immigration laws, just like his previous two predecessors."

Please draw me a picture of how it would look on European cameras for 8 million illegals to be marched back to the border en masse.

The logistical and geo-political nightmares alone argue for this giant plea bargain. Let them register. Let them deport themselves to try to get more legal time. That self-deportation won't stir up analogies to NAZI roundups and concentration camps. Self-deportation is politically untouchable.

Show me a plan that gets all 8 million illegals to Register their name, family, address, and employer, save for Bush's.

Show me how, logistically, we compel a roundup of 8 million illegals, and tell me how that will appear on foreign TV screens.

Frankly, Bush's carrot and stick approach is far more politically savvy than his opposition has grasped, to date.

Who cares?

Did we let Europte stop us from doing the right thing in Iraq?

Why should we let the French scare us into caving to Illegals?

False dilemma.

I don't want to hear you compalining down the road when we still can't get our judges through.

Seriously, if you want a plan to cost you seats in the House and Senate, Bush's Amnesty is the way to go. Today marked the low point of his Presidency.

His plan needs to be defeated for his own good, for the good of the party, and the good of the country. We'll just have to deal with the damage he did today, in the form of the hundreds of thousands of future Illegals who he encouraged to break our laws.
