The thing I do not understand is that there is very simple path(s) for him to get what he wants and us to get what we want. Close down the F’n border and start a guest worker program. Just don’t make law breakers automatic citizens. They can get in line like everybody else and do it the right way. I have several Hispanics who work for me. They came here illegally as children and worked their asses off to become legal. They are more pissed about instant citizenship than I am.
I was reading a post about someone who had been here illegally about 20 years. Why? This person had a chance to get legal the last round. The sad thing is that the president probably could get his work program if he wasn’t so high handed “my way or the high way” about it. All most people want is a fence and support of the border control first. Big business could still get their help, legally and registered. Why they want to make this so complicated and give the country away, makes no sense to me.
I've come to a very startling realization that Bush doesn't want to shut down the flow. Period. He has some agreement with Fox. I think he has made a deal with Fox to let the US accept the migration out of Mexico in order let the Mexican government stabilize. INSANELY stupid policy, but it is the only thing I can see.

I don't have much sympathy for the illegals. As far as I'm concerned, no illegal should ever be able to gain citizenship and voting rights. NEVER. A solution to let them go back, apply, come here documented, PAY TAXES AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE SYSTEM is doable. If a man is willing to work, then a solution can be found.
But, I believe that the public has had enough of the lawlessness. IF we are going to be a nation of laws, then at some point people have to start abiding by them. This may just be the last straw.
Every legal immigrant should be freakin LIVID about this act. I know my wife is.
The guest worker program will never fly. The unions, led by the AFL-CIO, oppose it vigorously. That is one reason the current bill was stopped in the Senate.
