Good points. Though these are jobs too, which are not usually considered as within the so-called "underground economy", and are in the thousands as opposed to the millions.

I certainly wouldn't claim W's plan is perfect. But I do think it may ultimately be more workable than the long line of American leaders having done nothing to this point.

W's plan will not work and he knows it will not work. The reason our laws on the books have not worked is because polticians have put pressure on the INS not to do it's job.

We need boots on the border, an investigation into corruption in the INS, root out the congressmen putting pressure on the INS not to do it's job and impeach them right out of office. Then we need the laws on the books to be enforced along with laws deporting those with no income other than welfare and jobs that pay them under the table.
