Good to see you back
The real difficulty with the immigration initiative is that there is absolutely no intention on the part of its proponents to see even the limited penalties in it enforced. This isn't even amnesty, it's abdication. Mass deportation was never on the table - believe me, the stories about refugee camps along the lines of the Palestinians' are already written and waiting at Reuters, AP, and CNN. Bush has never been of any use on this issue and there are precious few individuals in Congress who are brave enough to weather the media storm that will be coming their way.
I am not personally optimistic. Those of us - myself included - who were laughing at the French for failing to face the situation aren't laughing anymore.
What a great Memorial Day!
