Jobs is the key to making this entire process work. Most of the the illegals are here for jobs. Control the employment process and a lot of the illegal problem disappears. No jobs no reason for the vast majority to be here..... How this will be done is the catch.

We haven't seen the legislation proposals much less the regulation details.... However the government is going to have to build a huge data bank with easy access for the employer to be able to determine if the applicant has comported with the registration process. Then the employer must be held accountable with stiff penalities if necessary in order to enforce the 'hire only registered' applicants....

doable..... maybe

Very well stated. My biggest plus for the President in all of this is that at least a dialog has been opened and we are being forced to not only see the problem but face the reality that something needs to be done.

I had no idea we had that many illegals in this Country. We need to do something to stop the influx of any more into this Country. Fox could take a big step foward in confronting his own problem which is lack of jobs and do something that about that by ending corruption and graft throughout Mexico. Seems to me he is not holding up his part of the deal by making living conditions better for his own people so they will stay home.

This problem goes back a lot farther than Pres Bush which makes the attacks on him seem petty when what he has done is a proposal only. Up to Congress to fine tune so people should be sending their ideas to their Representatives in Congress along with their complaints.

If the people on here read the DemocRAT comments about this Immigration proposal, they may want to step back for a minute and realize that Pres Bush is opening up the dialog but the Dems want immediate amnesty which leads to citizenship and "voting" for illegals. Huge difference.
