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

Nonsense. The vast majority of illegals that come here aren't criminals (in the sense that they come here illegally just to commit heinous crimes).

Most of them will fall for Bush's bait and switch because they want to work. Once they're registered, the government can track them until their 3-year work permit expires, and then they would have no choice but to go home.

It's too bad most conservatives are resorting to knee-jerk emotionalism and anger instead of understanding the nuts and bolts of Bush's excellent plan.

You're missing something. Illegals come here to work and that they can do without signing up for a worker's program. They fear the government knowing where they are and what they are doing and that is precisely why this proposal won't do a thing.

All Bush's proposal will do is create more illegals.
