Realistically we probably can't get rid of all 11 million. But we can get rid of many, if not at least a majority of them.

This crap about "we can't get them all, so we won't get any of them" is the kind of reasoning you get from 11 year kids. It is insulting that Bush, or anyone else, thinks we are so bleeping stupid to accept that line.

Apparently, the republicans now think we are as stupid as the DUMs think we are. Jeez, what a pantload.

I admired RR. I can also admit his flaws and errors. But the man NEVER talked down to Americans as if they were retarded children. I think that is the quality that the people found so endearing in the man.

Can we at least TRY to get rid of some of them?

Making 11 million (more like 20 million) of them legal will cause them to demand full scale wages as well as benefits. They will no longer be cheap labor and there will be no reason for employers to want to hire them. So, another 20 million will sneak in to meet the illegal demands of criminal employers for cheap, exploitable labor.

I'm watching Fox News Channel right now and there's a Democrat Strategist agreeing with the President and praising his support of the Kennedy bill.

I agree.

Whatever equilibrium reaching takes place will be gradual enough that the illegals can be replaced by entry level kids (i.e., moving into construction trades) and legal immigrants.
