Must be why he didn't say word one about enforcing the law on employers who hire illegals.

President Bush:Third, we need to hold employers to account for the workers they hire. It is against the law to hire someone who is in this country illegally. Yet businesses often cannot verify the legal status of their employees because of the widespread problem of document fraud. Therefore, comprehensive immigration reform must include a better system for verifying documents and work eligibility. A key part of that system should be a new identification card for every legal foreign worker. This card should use biometric technology, such as digital fingerprints, to make it tamper-proof. A tamper-proof card would help us enforce the law, and leave employers with no excuse for violating it. And by making it harder for illegal immigrants to find work in our country, we would discourage people from crossing the border illegally in the first place.

You prove my point. There is not one word about enforcing the law, even current law, in that paragraph. I found that to be a glaring omission as I listened to the speech.If you found that to be satisfying then more power to you. I don't and I doubt that many of the rest of us "borderbots" will either.

All just a big unfunded wish list skillfully crafted to fool'em all long enough for the amnesty to go through - nothing more, nothing less. One year from now we will be here discussing the complete lack of enforcement and the shocking speed at which the amnesty went through.
