Dream on, ain't gonna happen. The voter in states don't want to pay the "social" costs of illegals. Heck, I don't want to pay the "social" costs of legals, except for punishing criminals. That aside, voters don't consider illegal immigration itself a problem, because they keep hiring them, and illegal immigration is not a big issue for voters of federal representatives.

This problem has been going on for decades. If you think there will be mass roundups and deportations, you are living in a dream world. Face reality, and consider other options. President Bush will win on this issue.

What will happen to illegal aliens who don't qualify for President Bush's guest worker program?

As much as many would like to see this happen, they know it's along shot the Feds will comprehensively enforce immigration law.

State by state is how this thing will be dealt with. Illegals pouring into states that have yet to catch up with laws of their own. Many Illegals will return to Mexico, those stubborn few that remain will easily be mopped up and deported at the Feds leisure.

If by Bush "winning on this issue" you mean we will get a guest worker program, fine, most do not oppose that in itself. That is, without all the goodies, like licenses and amnesty.

Don't try to bring REASON into this discussion.

Oh, really? That must be why Prop 187 was passed by the voters in California and Prop 200 was passed by the voters in Arizona. Also, it is mostly businesses that hire illegal aliens.

We don't need a mass roundup of illegal aliens. Cut off ALL taxpayer funded services to illegal aliens while at the same time crack down HARD on businesses that hire illegal aliens. With no jobs and no taxpayer funded freebies, illegal aliens will begin to "deport" themselves.
