These criminals CAN'T be rewarded for their crimes. I might consider some sort of legal work status for the NEXT million coming north but only if they abide by US law from the very outset. Those who have broken into our country, no matter how long ago, are still criminals.
Commitment? I'd like to have the demonstrated commitment of the PANista crooks and their cartel masters, before any change in worker status, that they will stop any dope, terrorists or illegal material from coming north. Again, FIRST, as a demonstration of Mexican commitment to the relationship. We didn't have this kind of BS when the cartels ran the PRIistas!
Hell, what part of that is too complex for Bush to comprehend?
