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.
