I really like this idea.

Bush is doing a great thing with this proposal.

Immigrants are the backbone of America. Look how great he did with Hispanics this year. John Kerry would be president 2 weeks from now if it had not been for the Hispanics coming out in droves for him. He improved his 2000 percentage by 10 points.

It's also good for capitalism in general, to have more people in the country working jobs. Free immigration is an essential part of a capitalism system.

Welcome newbie! I agree with you that:
"Free immigration is an essential part of a capitalism system."

-The key is immigrants who want to come here LEGALLY, and assimilate into our society, not collect our social security, and go back to Mexico . However, with all the socialist freebies today, that is no longer the case. Here's a couple of threads, I hope you will peruse:

NO SUCH THING AS "TEMPORARY" AMNESTY

According to this article in the Miami Herald, the Bush Administration has decided to renew the temporary work and residence permits of 248,282 "undocumented" (illegal) immigrants from El Salvador under the so-called Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program. The decision will be announced later today.

A Bush Administration official informed the Herald that the reason for renewing the permits was because El Salvador was still rebuilding after earthquakes that struck the country in January 2001, four years ago.

Ostensibly, the TPS program is supposed to allow people from countries experiencing a natural disaster or civil war to come to the U.S. temporarily. Most of the Salvadorans granted TPS status, however, were already living in the U.S. illegally before the earthquake struck. In effect, the TPS designation is amnesty by another name. ----snip----
