There is no "will" on the part of the American people to send 8 million people back across the border to Mexico.

Big of you, delusional, but big, to make that decision on my behalf and the other 280,000,000 who are not even aware that you exist!

Where's the will to send 8 million illegals back to Mexico?

This is not an issue that is on the radar of the American people. It was not an issue in 2000, it was not an issue in 2002, and it was not an issue in 2004.

Bush is proposing something to realistically deal with the issue of illegals. You have no leverage over him because the American people simply don't see the urgency.

In addition, many Americans instinctively know that they benefit from low-priced vegetables and cheap housing costs.

Illegals have been an issue on FR since I joined six years ago, but I don't see the urgency when I go outside and encounter other Texans. It's never brought up, it's never discussed; in fact, illegal immigration simply isn't in the minds of most people.

If it is, nobody seems to consider it a bad thing.

And that's in Texas.

I can't remember a single politician in this state who has made deporting illegals a centerpiece of his campaign. You'd think that in conservative Texas that could be done. But, nobody does it.
