The Bush administration is pushing Congress to act on the president's plan for granting amnesty to millions of Mexican workers living and working illegally in the United States.
Amnesty and the related "guest-worker" issue have surfaced anew partly because Mr. Bush is preparing once more to take up the matter with Mexican President Vicente Fox in Monterrey, Mexico, on March 22.

I agree with you. On just about all the issues, low taxes, less regulation, the right to bear arms, I think conservative. That's why I'm on this forum. But some of the biggest backstabbers on the immigration issue are Republicans. I can think of at least 20 on the top of my head who vote for every illegal alien benefit that comes their way, including mine BTW. I've called him, complained, what good does it do? People must organize and start removing everyone that won't do what has to be done. Close the borders, and enforce our laws.
I know I heard his speech. I find it unbelievable that while poll after poll shows the vast majority of Americans favoring immigration reform we have only one "vocal" member of Congress talking about the immigration crisis. I give Tom a lot of credit for talking about it but where is everyone else?

I hate to pop your bubble but the 1987 amnesty was granted under President Reagan.
I think he was a great man, and a good president, but I disagreed with him on that. It encouraged our current immigration disaster. Granting amnesty again now will be a guarantee to anyone contemplating jumping the border, that amnesty will be granted again in a few years.
Someone needs to sit President Bush down, and explain to him that if another amnesty is granted our biggest imports will soon be poverty, and disease. I pointed this out to a congressional candidate last nite, and he agreed.
It is already being done in border towns, the number of new develpments along the border is beyond belief.
If a majority of American citizens voted "NO", meaning that the current federal government was not effectively doing its job, then the government would be dissolved. This dissolution would consist of the dismissal of the President and his entire Cabinet, the dismissal of all members of Congress, and the dismissal of the heads of all federal government departments and agencies.
