Politicians have long been afraid of broaching the immigration problem.
It's been off-limits like Social Security reform used to be.
Whether you like Bush's proposal or not, at least give him credit for getting the debate going.
And I don't disagree with those who say we need to follow the laws already on the books. No doubt the INS is totally inept.
Who knows... maybe sweeping reforms in the INS may come out of all of this and that would be a GOOD thing, IMO.
All opposition to Bush's immigration proposal might want to read it and comment.
