We already have a mechanism for that. It's called legal immigration and we should be following the already established laws instead of trying to create new ones.

Exactly. Why in the world would we expect that the new immigration laws GW may propose will be respected any better than the current ones?

First public confidence in the will of our government to enforce laws on the books HAS to be restored. Otherwise we're left to assume that the president's proposal is more smoke & mirrors.

Personally, I'm about as far right as you can get and a third party candidate is always a viable option when it comes to voting, however, it really doesn't address the immigration problem. Sometimes programs (immigration in this case) are either ineffective or simply no longer fill current situations. In this case our current methodology of immigration control is failing us miserably. I'm not one for amnesty and think that ALL "illegals" should be tossed out on their collective butts today, however that doesn't stem the tide of new illegals.

What we need is a new "from the ground up" system of immigration control. Yes, registration and documentation are required as well as many other stipulations on both the "guest worker" and the employer.

Regardless of who or which party is in control of our government this issue needs to be addressed and corrected.
