This happened back when I was in the USMC. Back then they were kidnapping soldiers and holding them for ransom. The main difference being we were allowed to hang out in Mexico during daylight hours, but we had to be back before dark.

Just doing the jobs that Americans wont do...because they are more moral than the immigrants.

I swear to God, if Bush signs this in, I will never defend him again for anything.

I nver thought I would say this, but I agree with you.

Oreilly on the radio said “there is no other plan!”

Well, the jerk would not give credit to Neal Boortz whose plan is simple:

1. Hit the employers of illegals with hard draconian punishments for hiring them so the illegals can;’t get jobs.
2. have private US companies sign up Mexicans in mexico for temporary visas for specific job requests in the US and transport them here. have our corproations pay the wages to these companies and the hiring companies pay the workers.

3. when their time for the job is finished, they get transportation back to Mexico.

4. Seal the border really tight...like 99%.

that is just using the laws we have on the books now!

It'll be okay after the amnesty is signed... just a temporary thing.

These people are just running the drugs, and killing those who get in their way, that Americans refuse to... you know, just looking for a better way of life.

Yep, a life that their own communist government couldn't give them, so they'll have a communist government installed here. Looks like they've got Washington in line.

Eh, Lindsay? Viva La Raza baby!

(for those in any doubt, duh....</sarc>)

I don't support this bill...So clearly not in agreement with President GWB on this - Though I do still support the man as President....Simply disagree with him on this issue.

The wild rhetoric we have by some on the right regarding GWB is not helpful...and puts a segment of our base with the ilk of the loony DEMs.

As for this bill itself, the more I hear and read it is very unlikely to make it out of Congress. It probably only has a 20/30% chance to make it out of the House and maybe a 50/50 chance in the Senate.

Though I don't mind the Z-Status (as long as those of such a status DON'T have a right to vote).

With the fake documents and identification market out there....this simply isn't possible or justified to go after businesses/ private sector. This is a 30yr in the making Gov't (Federal and State) issue....that some are suggesting punishing those in the private sector for not correcting.

That is foolishness. We'd have businesses spending millions trying to verify real from fake ID/documents.

Do you really believe that won't be coming next after this is signed. Really?

All that will be coming after this is signed is another 50 million of them to suck what’s left of the feral trough (and your savings, retirement, and wages) dry.

This is good. When the American tourists stops going to Mexico, the Mexican govt will finally find the cojones that they need to stop the drug violence.
