What you won't hear is that the bracero program confirmed the central premise of President Bush's immigration proposal: that permitting greater access to legal visas can indeed reduce illegal entry into the United States. You do recognize that this is a circular argument?

You do recognize that this is a circular argument? I wonder whether it's more a circular argument -- circulus in probando -- or a tautology: "Brown cows are always brown, because they're brown!"
Either way, I think we both recognize that his argument sucks wind.

I recognize historical data, which cearly points to lesser numbers of illegal aliens in the country when legal means where available to enter, work, and go home.
