Unfortunately some people think anything less than locking up or deporting illegal immingrants, is "amnesty".
I don't find anything wrong with a guest worker program or giving many of these people a reasonable and fair path to citizenship.
I don't care if some people call it amnesty or not.
The idea that we are going to deport millions of people simply isn't going to happen. That's reality.
So what are the poll numbers gonna do now?!??
Ah, at least a pragmatic FReeper!
Everytime this piece of mental confusion gets re-uttered the 12 million illegal aliens already here grow bolder and more confident, and the 20 million that are thinking about coming across the border squeal with delight.
Until we try, we don't what we can do. Employing a variety of measures we can likely get rid of at least 80 percent of the problem.
I love GW!!
He has the honesty to deal with a problem no one else would. He will piss off the isolationists, but so what. They want all the illegals out NOW and a WALL, which is plain stupid, not to mention unrealistic. I am embarrassed to be associated with them as "republicans" anyway.
God Bless George W Bush!!!
