Bush has offered repeatedly his plan. It's not conservative enough for many of you, so you ignore it. All I hear is "NO AMNESTY".
He realizes as I do that repatriating every illegal immigrant in the US to their native country is impossible. Many of these people have children born in the US and are citizens. The logistics themselves would be a nightmare.
Having an armed border without Mexican involvement is only an exercise in futility that would end up with an enemy instead of an ally to our south. WIthout the income garnered by the illegal aliens, Mexico could collapse financially. That would only breed more problems for our nation.
The majority of the latins that have immigrated here are God fearing, hard working family people trying to better themselves. I don't see where that is bad for us. The only way you will ever stop the immigration problem is for Mexico to reach parity with the US in quality of life.
A reasonable work program for immigrants, matched with an ID program to weed out the criminal and terrorist element will not satisfy you. That coupled with a set time limit for remaining in the US is a good plan. If you can't get behind it...tough.
I have had enough of the anti-immigration crap by people who have not thought out the long term consequences of closing the borders.
You are in a tiny minority. Most American Mexicans want the borders secured. NO one said anything about "immigration", only illegal immigration.
I have had enough of the open border crap by people who have not thought out the long term consequences of NOT closing the borders. As has MOST of America.

And we've had more than enough of the "can't be done--too many of 'em" defeatest bullhockey coming out of the pro-illegal alien enablers, apologists and supporters around here.
If you want to support the Bush shamnesty proposal, that's up to you. Just don't expect the rest of us to buy it.
In case you haven't noticed, your views are in the minority at FR as well as across the country.
