President Bush will win on this issue.
What will happen to illegal aliens who don't qualify for President Bush's guest worker program?
The idea is to restore the rule of law by changing the law to reflect what the people want. Once done, the illegal immigration problem will become manageable again using the resources currently being applied to the problem.
Of course we won't know the details until the bill is introduced but I wonder about the ILLEGAL immigrants who have purchased homes.
There's been several articles posted about mortgage companies lending to ILLEGAL immigrants even though Fannie Mae and Fredie Mac do not purchase the mortgages of ILLEGAL immigrants.
ILLEGAL immigration exploded during the second BJ term and has continued, IMO they were virtually invited here by government and business refusing to acknowledge and obey the law.
We don't need new laws that are just as likely to be ignored when it suits government and business.
Let the ones stay who are not troublemakers and who have jobs as something like Permanently Residing Under the Color Of Law, PRUCOL. They can get in line to be citizens if they choose, other rights to be decided.
At the same time tell the world very clearly, "The invitation to come here ILLEGALLY is canceled, we will enforce our laws from now on, sorry."
I've posted findings of a Northeastern University study that stated that over two million "recent immigrants" have found jobs here between 2000 and 2004.
