Beat me to it.
One thing that I don't understand is that we seem so eager to help Mexicans. How about freakin' helping them get rid of their Corrupt Government and Fox instead of budddying up to this PoS.
We don't buddy up to Castro or Chavez.
Either way, how about us forcing them to fix their sh#@ hole of a country before we run the enormous risk of allowing tens or hundreds of millions of them coming here to ruin ours and trend it towards what theirs is.
Gangs, corruption (making that in our government look like cheating in a game of solotaire), and a massive lower class lead the way down there.
As it now stands, opening the lock doors with the two levels of water (societal standards) at massively different levels can only yield disastrous results. We need to fill the lock with water first before opening the doors and always keep that lock there as a buffer.
Either way, with all the time, risk, money being wasted on things that only threaten the viability of the U.S., perhaps our focus should be on helping/forcing Mexico to clean up its own mess before we allow them to come in and sh&% inside our borders.

P.S.
I like your moat idea!
You are probably right, but the Senate is more desperate for some sort of bill and thus more willing to compromise. I can see some sort of the phased plan whereby secure borders must be the number one priority. Once that is accomplished and certified, the second phase of a guest worker program, no amnesty, i.e., citizenship, could be developed.
As much as it pains me to say it, RR is probably not the best example to call on in this case. Simpson-Mazzoli was his shot at immigration control and it wasn't a good one. I personally prefer Dwight Eisenhower's Operation Wetback as our model. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Wetback
People....please start making phone calls....don't just b*tch about this - DO SOMETHING!!!
I have.
That's because we're the good guys.
(Of course, being good buys, we enter a war and fight it to a stalemate.)
If our goobermint cozied up to Castro and Chavez our leftist-socialist state department would be all over these commies with kisses. Our security (which is so woefully inadequate now) would resemble swiss cheese as we'd be sharing everything with our new commie friends.
Forget about our CIA. It's been a socialist think tank for decades.
Back to the Mexicans.
Their country is indeed a cesspool on a par with Namibia or Zimbabwe (or is it Zimbabme?)
NAFTA was rolled out to solve all the economic problems of Mexica. After all, the U. S. has been bankrupt for eons and has loaned money to Mexico that would rebuild the Bush-destructed New Orleans and feed all the lazies for years.
The problem with NAFTA, among the myriad, is that now goods are manufactured in China, transshipped to Mexico where the goods are labeled "Made in Mexico" then shipped up to el Norte to the throngs of eagar and simple American consumers.
As long as the Mexican government continues to perpetuate itself in a form of incest, Mexicans will leave and come North.
Erecting a wall, deporting all illegals will send them back to do combat with their filthy government, but then they'll end up like Venezuela or Cuber.
It doesn't matter. We should be tired and sick to the point of puking to let our hearts bleed a little more for someone else. Deport the whole lot of them, seal the border and recall our ambassadors to Mexico, Venezuela, Peru and Ecuador.
I heard John Hancock, a local radio host, say the same thing about 3 days ago.
Change that to rinos not up for re-election in '06.
You forgot that they also brought the bubonic plague to America.
Should have burried it 4 or 5 years ago.
Buried what?
IMO...
He's waiting for the right
moment to step back up to
the leadership position.
Already the newscasts
this a.m. are saying that
same thing. Who's going
to hear him over the
Holiday Weekend? He has
to have a time when the
nation will tune in to
hear him. Bush, Rove,
Cheney, et al. are far
from stupid. It's the
senators who are blowing
in the wind.
And the Drive-by media
are prating the words of
War Hero Murtha right now.
and
Sounds good to me.
You can always invite the world in. You'll never get them out.
I'm still awaiting hearing about Mexico (likely the government itself in some form) selling "trips to the U.S." to anyone around the world that has the cash.
A new U.S. immigration system is now in place. Why spend time in long lines? Why risk the U.S. Government saying "no?" Why fill out oodles of paperwork? The Mexican government has eliminated all of that.
Should be interesting what kind of riffraff gets fasttracked for instant immigration status (effectively) over the coming years.
Sensenbrenner: Bush Turned Back on Bill
"He basically turned his back on provisions of the House-passed bill, a lot of which we were requested to put in the bill by the White House," Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., angrily told reporters in a conference call. "That was last fall when we were drafting the bill, and now the president appears not to be interested in it at all."
Sensenbrenner chairs the House Judiciary Committee and would be the House's chief negotiator on any final immigration package for Bush's signature. He said it was the White House that had requested two controversial felony provisions in the bill the House passed last winter.
"We worked very closely with White House in the fall in putting together the border security bill that the House passed," he said. "... What we heard in November and December, he seems to be going in the opposite direction in May. That is really at the crux of this irritation," he said of Bush.
"I was very disappointed in the president's speech," Sensenbrenner said. "I think he doesn't get it."
Asked if Bush mollified conservatives in the speech by calling for sending National Guard troops to states along the Mexican border, Sensenbrenner said, "He failed in that completely."
And despite Bush's insistence that he was not calling for amnesty, Sensenbrenner said, "Well it is an amnesty, because it allows people who have broken the law to stay in the country."
In fact this Senate Bill stipulates grievous punishment for any Federal official who even attempts to investigate the likely fake credentials that are submitted by those illegals who will apply for the "path to citizenship" rubbish.
And if they used false SS numbers you can bet they also used false names and ID......
So expect MULTIPLE claims for SS and other benefits.
And what about the Selective Service registration for all males aged 18 to 26......?
This is a question on the IN400 Citizenship petition form......and non registration is an instant barrier to citizenship for regular legal immigrants.....also any federal benefits like Pell grants and school funding.
And don't get me started on the insanity of granting illegals low cost in-state tuition ANYWHERE IN THE US....that even a citizen can't get.
Keep those faxes and phone calls coming, folks!
I would have said cards and letters, but your congresscritter doesn't actually see those for weeks after you send them, due to detoxification procedures. Calls and faxes are received and tallied - and a few actually delivered verbatim - within 24 hours.
