Empty words without funding and quick action - let's wait and see what gets done first - or at all. I'm not a betting man, but I'd put a years pay on the amnesty.

So after five years-four months as POTUS, you want everyone to start believing what Bush has to say on immigration? Give me a break. When Bush came into office the borders were wide open. Today, the borders are still wide open. And there are more illegal aliens crossing those open borders then ever before.

If he and the Rep. were REALLY serious about solving this, they could. I will agree that if his proposals actually happen, then it does help the situation.
How come there was no talk of holding US businesses accountable? How about a system that makes businesses check the SS numbers of employees. This could be implemented with little time and money. There are so many cost effective solutions to this problem, but there needs to be a willingness to do it. That's what really p's me off.

"A man whose changed against his will,

- is of the same opinion still."

It took the worst popularity ratings for a President since Jimmy Carter to make Bush move even a little with illegal immigration reform. Even so, he has changed nothing of his personal views, he still calls the invaders "temporary workers" and wants to grant them amnesty and citizenship, inspite of the fact they broke U.S. laws in coming here and nobody knows who or what many of them are; whether terrorists, dangerous criminals or mentally ill, carriers of disease, gang members, rapists, killers, sociopaths who were not wanted in their own communities, or whatever.

Bush's amnesty obsession is reminiscent of the Castro Mariel Boat people fiasco, where the hispanic dictator emptied his country of the undesirables and Jimmy Carter welcomed them into our society. But Bush's modern version of the "Mariel boat people" is a million times worse than Carter's was because of the truly massive numbers of them, (12 - 20 million people). This whole amnesty thing is irrational, and it is not in the best interests of America. Bush blathered on about American "traditions", but illegal immigration has never been an American tradition.

Talk is bloody cheap.

On illegal immigration, Mr. Bush has been -- if I may borrow a homely Texan phrase -- 'all hat and no cattle' to date.

Will he change? I don't know.

But I don't think so.

And it only took him six years and the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history to do it.
