Too little, too late.
So what is the difference between an 'undocumented worker' and an 'illegal immigrant?'
Thought so, MSM.
Bush has been a do nothing piss ant at protecting our borders and i'm mad as hell about it. With re-election out of the way, he has no damned excuse now. These 3rd world leeches are dragging us down state by state as they suppress wages for legal citizens by working under the table for a fraction of what law abiding businesses pay their employees. Not to mention the welfare and healthcare drain they create.
I wonder what this means.
I bet each and every FReeper could walk out their doors and within 2 hours round up 10 illegal ALIENS each.
Big question - where do we bring them? The local police station?
Nope. They won't take them. They can't. Only the feds can. And if you did what you espouse, you'd probably get arrested for kidnapping the illegals.
Read: letting them go but making sure there are immigration probation officers that they have to check in with weekly until their judgment is final.
Yeah, THAT'LL solve the problem.
I'm with you on your attitude but the president doesn't make law - although can set an agenda, only congress can do that. Blame the hundreds of RINO's in the house and senate first, then blame W for not 'spending my political capital' on this issue.
In fact, I think the 'borders' are going to be the litmus test in '08 for control the WH.

Neither duopoly candidate is seriously going to talk about border control or immigration control....the fact that the republicrats SUPPORT (through inaction, funding decisions, etc) illegal immigration (it increases national economic activity, so I have read) says it all.
of course we couldn't do it...but a new task force could do it, and they would be plenty busy, because every town in America has aliens there for the picking...
" providing alternatives to detention for low-risk illegal immigrants awaiting deportation. "
I suggested on another thread that it might be Motel6. The FROBL's went berzerk!!
How about we stop processing new asylum and refugee cases as almost every Western country is threatening to do, and instead put those paper-pushers to work simply walking in to random large employers whose workforce is uneducated and checking their workers' documentation?
The solution always seems to be more government. We could just use what we have the way Americans want it used.
Yep. A democrat with a proven 'ironclad' border mentality would be a shoo-in these days. Too bad there is no such thing in either party today. Security is everything.
work release?
But the xenophobes would never go along with letting more people in legally, they're happier with letting MORE in illegally and pissing away millions to try to fight the tide.
Run and hide, I think.
What illegals? After he arranges for them all to become legal there won't be any more to find [/sarcams]
That was true back in the 90's.
However, he won reelection and can now start to work the problem without worrying about Senator Kerry et al running our war on terror.
Did you hear that Senator Clinton is calling for improvement in border control and slowing illegal immigration?
What do you two have in common?
fine with me. just get a handle on who is here and who we kick out.
