Millions of aliens have been exiled just since Bush took office - so I disagree with your premise - if hypothetically no immigration laws were being enforced by our gov't, nor were they being respected by the "incoming," there would be less reason to believe that a guest worker program and more laws that support "legal" immigration" will lead to....ZERO illegal immigration. There's been a 64% increase in Border Patrol funding since 9/11 - imagine how well the Border Patrol could do their job if they only terrorists and other criminals were coming over.

How many "millions?

And how many "millions" of those, and them some have come right back, repeatedly. I recall when the '86 Amnesty Bill was passed, some 3 million illegals were made "legal." Now the number has surpassed 4 times that.

if hypothetically no immigration laws were being enforced by our gov't,

And just where did I say no immigration laws have been followed? Or was that "hypothetical" on your part?

You can't get such blatant lies past FReepers.

Bush budget scraps 9,790 border patrol agents: President uses law's escape clause to drop funding for new homeland security force

Besides, ks, you know claw-rence doesn't want ZERO illegal immigration and neither does the Bush43 administration.
