"Another question, if I may. What has Bush done to curtail illegal immigration?"

For employers like me, Bush gave us a much needed tool.

President Bush signed the workplace verification bill to prevent hiring of illegal Aliens
S. 1685, the Basic Pilot Extension Act of 2003, was signed by President Bush on December 3, 2003.
It extends for five years the workplace employment eligibility authorization pilot programs created in 1996. It expands the pilot programs from the original five states to all 50 states.

Yes, & isn't program a 'tool' that employers may use *voluntarily* to verify correct SS #'s ???

This law should have made it *mandatory* to verify SS #'s, IF the gov't was serious about working illegals or ID theft.

Yes, he helped those folks that want to avoid hiring illegal aliens, but neither bill/law has or will curtailed illegal immigration.

I'd accept them as citizens IF the emphasis was on English only, acting as Americans, no multi-culti crap, make foreign hyphenated groups' advocates, et al register as foreign lobbyists, and delete government documents, etc. that are not in English. (Remove the Spanish version of whitehouse.gov would be a good start.)

We citizens could help enforce those aspects in a respectful but firm manner.

I truly believe that we need many of them and I believe that many of them are the type that made America great. But I don't want their language and "third world cesspool" cultures here no matter where they are from -- and that goes for snotty Europeans.

Promising to enforce the law this time is an insult. It's like Lucy promising Charlie Brown that she'll hold the football steady.

There are too many hyphenated groups with too much power for the government to promise anything. Then of course there are the likes of the ACLU pukes, activitist courts, anti-"profiling" and "hate crime" laws, and most of all, $$$$$$$ for puke politicians.

Dem rats want to give our sovereignty to tranzies and now Republicans pat us on the back with assurances while they micturate down our leg knowing that they will not deliver -- it is their policy to pander to the fast-growing immigrant sector. IMO it insults Americans of those ethnicities but apparently Mr. Rove feeeeeeeeels otherwise.
