I guess that makes FR a Paleo-con haven since over 60% dissapprove of the plan you claim the American people support. Not to mention upwards of 83% in most polls want the borders sealed.

83%...I missed all of those. I've seen lots of polls and 83% is new to me, since you say "most polls" you should have no trouble finding just one link from a reputable polling source for me. Would you please?

I didn't say the American people support the President's plan. I don't think the American people care about illegal immigration unless the economy gets bad. Then illegal immigrants make an attractive scapegoat. What I was trying to help you understand was that if the American People start seeing mothers getting gunned down at the border, stormtroopers guarding checkpoints, and more Elian's taken away at gunpoint they will care.

Here is a Fox news poll

FOXNews.com - FOX News/Opinion Dynamics Poll - Bush Numbers Up At Start of Election Year

8. Later this month President Bush will give his State of the Union Address to the nation. What topic are you most interested in hearing the president talk about during his speech? (OPEN ENDED)

The economy/jobs 35%
Iraq 17
Terrorism 10
Health Care 4
Medicare/prescription Drugs 4
Education 3
Immigration/illegal aliens 2
Social Security 2
Taxes 2
Budget Deficit 1
Other 5
None 6
Not sure 9

And I suppose you are a Deaniac.
I would suggest reading my tagline.

Would you take your own advice? I will not. If you see my tagline you will see that I am proud of my President. He is a true servant of the People and I intend to rehire him in November.

"I see illegal immigrants as humans yearning for a better way of life."

So, if an illegal needs to rob a bank to satisfy his "yearning for a better life", that would be OK with you?
