He is not trying to pick up votes. He did hedge his words a bit with Fox in mind, but he really wants to get this problem solved.

Under current law, there is little judicial or political cover to do the things that many of you have suggested.

His proposal would back door that cover in. He did not say that, but he did not have to.

The deportation rate will never match or exceed the rate that they are comming in or overstaying their visas.

Current law does no favors to the enforcement people so they can do their jobs.

If they tried, (and they do) the media and the courts would stop them as they are doing now.

Just my 2 cents for what it is worth.

Well, don't faint, but your last posts to citizen and to me convinced me that you are sincerely interested in dealing with the immigration crisis, rather than just blindly supporting Bush.

Although I still disagree with your position, particularly your assessment of how aggressive we can be about enforcing the current law (Holland, the most liberal nation on earth, just announced it was deporting 26,000 illegal aliens, the equivalent of 520,000 deportations of illegals from our nation), as long as you are approaching this issue from the standpoint of what's best for the country rather than simply what's best for one party or one candidate, as you guys on the other side like to say about Bush's proposal, "at least it's a start." :)

I'm calling it a night. See you in the immigration thread trenches, guy.
