Bush's immmigration plan is a stroke of genius. Too bad the majority of FReepers here are too ignorant to understand this and resort to the usual "I'm taking my ball home and voting 3rd party candidate."

It is logistically impossible to round up 10 million illegals and deport them. The manpower, the costs, and the infrastructure involved just isn't there.

The manpower, the costs, and infrastructure isn't there to register and process them into a new "guest worker" program, either.

Illegals may be serfs, but they aren't stupid serfs and they won't enroll voluntarily.

LOL......So WHERE are we supposed to get the *manpower, money & infrastructure*, to REGISTER 10 million illegals, PLUS 10 million employers & then *track* their want ads ??

What makes you think 'illegal employers' are going to now obey our laws & pay taxes, just because GWB *proposes* it ???

Apparently, you haven't heard of Eisenhower's successful Operation Wetback.

"The manpower, the costs, and the infrastructure involved just isn't there"..the cost to Americans for illegals far outweighs what the cost would be to either deport them and/or close the borders. The reason the infrastructure isn't there is due to the fact the will isn't there on the part of the administration. They have hamstrung the border patrol.
