House Majority Leader John A. Boehner refused yesterday to rule out compromising with the Senate to expand the House border security bill to include a guest-worker program or provisions that opponents call "amnesty." "Let's wait and see what the Senate can produce," he told reporters yesterday when asked whether House Republicans would reject the Senate Judiciary Committee's proposal to allow the estimated 12 million illegal aliens now in the U.S. to seek citizenship after paying a fine.

What about requiring some form of national identification card with some sort of biometrics? Then outrageous penalties for employers that hire illegals.

Nothing but solid waste and hot air, thus far.True. And it was ever thus.

"Only rabidly IGNORANT fools will criticize the sensible action that the President and Congress are putting into place. "
Funny thing, that is what we call you ignorant, anti-American people who support an this invasion by Mexico.
There is nothing sensible about one country invading another and being sold out by our politicians.
To: Don'tMessWithTexas
We can enforce such a program.
This is not a question of ability, but of will and determination.
Elimination by attrition.
Start deporting illegal aliens-the idea that every single one will be deported en masse is a straw man argument used by people who don't want to address this issue-and start enforcing pre-existing immigration law.
I'll give you an anecdote to illustrate my point.
There's a neighborhood in my borough known as Midwood.
A section of that neighborhood was once known as "Little Pakistan," because of the number of Muslim, East Indian emigres that made that area their home.
After Sept. 11th 2001-when the DOJ made it a priority to determine just who was roaming around this country from suspect nations-they were forced to make a choice if they were not here legally.
They could register now-and be forced to return home and reapply for a visa after a certain fixed period-or they could go to ground, and possibly risk the consequences, i.e. being deported AND banned from re-entry for much, much longer.
Guess what?
The vast majority of them decided that it was in their best interests to return home now-and avoid even worse repercussions later on, if they were ultimately arrested and reported to the INS-and apply for re-entry to the United States.

I think Cboldt was being sarcastic. Unfortunately, it is indistinguishable from a lot of the pro-amnesty types around here (excuse me, I meant "pro-business").

It's about illegal immigration. Right? Then riddle me this. Does McCain agree with Bush's stance on a worker program for illegals?
If the answer is yes, Beagle8U is a hypocrite and you are an enabler and apologist.

Or a member of the menopausal bush bot housewife league? Uncalled for.
Many people who agree with you on the immigration issue are menopausal housewives who love President Bush.

You know the suggestions. When speaking of another poster, try to ping that poster, unless you are giving them accolades, in which case, they will hear about it from one of their fellow moderators.
