The only good news is that Hillary is already working on moving to the right of the Bush GOP on this. We're fortunate that she is telegraphing her plans so early.
This means that Karl "the supposed genius" Rove has time to figure out Hillary can and will pick off a few red states with the immigration issue and waltz into the White House unless Republicans figure out that they are supposed to represent the legal residents of this country, not the corporate one-worlders who will subvert anything for cheap labor.

I don't know what Hillary's plans are. She could move to our right, and run against illegal immigration. On the other hand, this could be a "head-fake", and she could have planted the recent media stories to increase conservative unrest about illegal immigration, and encourage a conservative anti-amnesty third-party candidate to run against the Rove-backed nominee in 2008. Then, with a Ross Perot-type spoiler, she could run as a liberal and win with 43% of the vote, like her hubby.
Notwithstanding recent rumors, she was a co-sponsor of S-2381 in the Senate, which is a Democratic-proposed amnesty ("earned legalization") plan.
But the bottom line is that our party leaders are on the WRONG side of this issue. And, our party is very vulnerable, and Hillary will exploit that vulnerability. I don't know how, but I am sure that she will.
