If Fred Thompson has a brain in his head, upon his announcement as a candidate for POTUS, he will vow to enforce the immigration laws already on the books, secure BOTH borders and WIN THE WOT.
Fred, are you paying attention?
The chart below shows, among other things, that in those industries that employ illegals the MAJORITY of the jobs are held by....GASP!...AMERICANS.
That puts a HUGE HOLE in Bush's claim that illegals are doing jobs Americans won't do.
It also shows, as Bush has claimed, that more than a million illegals a year have been deported since Bush took office.
Well if they can deport 6 million, they can double their efforts and deport 12 million.
Lastly, after BOTH borders have been secured, all illegals should be deported including the incarcerated. Why should Americans pay to incarcerate other countries' criminals. It's not like we don't have enough American criminals to incarcerate. And by deporting the foreign incarcerated in American prisons we not only lower our prison costs but we open up slots for AMERICAN criminals who are now roaming about the country unabated.
The 2008 Conservative Revolution has started! Now all we need is a CONSERVATIVE to lead the revolution. Because we are in danger of not only losing our two party system but our sovereignty. It is time for CONSERVATIVES to take back the GOP and the time is NOW!

Independent reports based on economic data, iirc, put the total of visa-free visitors at 20+ million -- as of some years ago. Maybe as much as 30 million.
