Yes, Hillary may succeed in duping people into believing she is against illegal immigration. But it was her co-president who made it easier for them to get here and vote Democrat. And if she would get in power (God forbid) she would do her utmost to undermine whatever efforts we have made to thwart the invasion.
President Bush's ridiculous stance on this issue, undermines his credibility on issues of national security and the war on terrorism. I hope that it doesn't take an election upset to make Republicans sit up and take notice of how important this issue is to many Americans.

HE hasn't proposed anything concrete yet, like NCLB. That's how he works. HE wants a debate and discussion that would lead to a policy that brings consensus between those secrity and labor demands.
Personally, I don't care whether the Guest Worker Program or Israel-Palestine option is implemeted. As long as the borders are ecure, I'll be happy.
One thing that is absent in this debate is the new American work (un)ethic. All of us here grew up on the Horatio Alger/American Dream where we get success through hard wrok and dedication. With the perversion of our culture, we end up with spoiled rich boys who expect a six-figure income when they get out of college. These whiny brats will see jobs like fariming, dish washing, etc as beneath them and they want the latinos to take such jobs.
If Americans took any job offered, we wouldn't even be arguring about the invasion.
When the PResident talks about jobs Americans won't take, our first reaction is BS. But this statement is more true than we think. You or me will gladly take almost any job, because we need to succeeed and feed ourseleves (and our families, if you lucky people have one :P). But there is a large contingent of people who will not take jobs "that are meant for undocumented workers."
One key of the GWP is that Americans don't lose employment opportunities. Fine and dandy. If this plan comes along, it is up to us to make sure that every available job slot is taken by Americans. This way, illegals won't be hired. Bring up charges on employers who deliberately employ aliens before hiring a citizen. And tell the stupid louts to get off their lazy asses and get that d@mn job. You want to be a money broker? Go to a McDonalds. Some kid went into space and he got that job flipping burgers.
