Whatever. I'm a realist; I trust the President on this issue. Unlike his predecessor, he won't send America down the river.
First of all, we don't know where the majority of illegals are. What is Bush going to do? Deploy Border Units around day-labor centers? Do sweeps in East L.A.?
I know illegals are illegals and in no way I'm defending them. But now that they're here, we need to contain their numbers and make sure new ones go through the proper legal channels, or better yet, stay home.
We DO that by making a REAL committment to a systematic plan which will require ALL undocumented aliens to register OR face immediate deportation when caught without proper validation. AND we impose severe penalties upon employers who hire indocumented aliens.
We can drop a remote machine on Mars, some 70,000,000 miles away from Earth but we can't devise a sytem to do this?? Come now...
