"......... they might be undocumented aliens, but otherwise lawful citizens. "

Huh? An illegal alien is by default NOT A CITIZEN. What kind of BS answer is that?

You just pealed away the onion skin and revealed the true nature of the beast which accepts the fact that illegals that have made it across will be "unofficially" accorded rights of citizenship. It matters not what phrases or definitions are used for federally sanctioned "rights" of illegals, they all in essence bestow citizenship to these people. I find Bush no less arrogant than Vincente Fox in that both are promoting government sanctions that are against the wishes of the American people.

It is becoming more and more evident that our federal government is establishing precedent where the people work for them (provide income through taxes)instead of them working for the people by carrying out the wishes of those who elected them! The Congress and President are our hired help and we as their employers should should DEMAND they do their job or fire all their a**es in the next election!!!

That's kind of how I see it.

Hmmmm, maybe Gonzales thinks of illegal aliens as lower-case "C" citizens, whereas those with actual legal status in the country are upper case "C" Citizens. India has a caste system, we have a case system. But that would be discussed in the classified memorandum, which we Citizens cannot see.
