The President's Speech on Immigration Reform given on January 7th, 2004 has many far reaching proposals which if enacted into law, will shape the future of America for generations to come.
It is the first such immigration reform initiative by any president since Ronald Reagan granted amnesty to illegal immigrants living in the United States in 1986.
President Bush's immigration reform initiative would provide immediate and significant legal protections and rights for any illegal immigrants now living in the United States providing they inform the government of their presence here by legally registering it with the .
Significant benefits and privileges, including an opportunity for U.S. citizenship, would be granted to these immigrants as a result of their cooperation.
Since at least ten million illegal immigrants already living in the United States are eligible for the president's proposal, and since deporting that large of a population back to their home countries is largely considered physically impractical, this solution is seen as the "best-case" solution to the immigration problem by many Americans.
Also embedded into the president's proposal are far reaching changes that are considered by many Americans to be "giving away the farm." The cost of absorbing millions of illegal immigrants all at once and the impact and precedent it could create for future illegal immigrations are believed by many other Americans to far outweigh the benefits of legitimizing these millions of immigrants.
The political, economic, and social impact of President Bush's initiatives will affect the United States for at least the remainder of the 21st Century.
The crisis of illegal immigration affects each and every American, and the longer the crisis goes unanswered, the worse it will become.
It is for this reason that the nation must now put their differences aside and work together for the combined good of all Americans, from all walks of life, and from all political and economic persuasions.
Current FR link reference on President Bush's Immigration Reform Initiative will be update on a regular basis.
President George W. Bush's speech on immigration delivered on Jan. 7, 2004 follows:
Many that do live in those areas don't understand your fear and anger.
Hey nonliberal,
In addition to writing Tancredo, why not make it a point to report one illegal alien each day for the next month!

Good Luck.
Why...it will never become law as is...he clearly stated that Congress would have to handle the details. A basic fact that I learned in elementary school is that the President does not make laws, Congress does. I am continually surprised at all of the seemingly intelligent people on this forum or that I have met who don't seem to grasp this concept. Bush's plan will be in the cross-cut shredder the minute it hits Congress and I think Bush knew that. Was he merely pandering to the Hispanics? Sure. Will I stay home from the polls because of it like so many have threatened on here? Not likely, because I understand that while his proposal was merely pandering for political gain (probably one of Rove's less brilliant schemes), I do have to commend him on throwing the ball onto the court to start the debate process and pushing Congress to act on a plan to resolve the problem.
Personally, I think we ought to just forget Bush's proposal and concentrate on backing Tom Tancredo's version of the bill by writing our Congresscritters.
Yeah ! :O)

Here are some examples of the most common violations of United States Immigration laws:
Examples:
(This is not a complete list of violations.)
Really? I think he's seen S.1387 and developed his proposal based on that bill.
But Bush signs laws such as the horrible education bill, the horrible campaign finance law and the horrible prescription law. The Prez is a very important person! Therefore, I believe this Amnesty proposal will pass hands down. The Congress is terrified to go against the one world mentality that has been on the front burner of political thought for so many years. In other words, Congress knows what the president wants and delivers.
