This may not be what we all want, but it's not as bad as some had thought it would be. From a homeland security aspect alone, this helps in my opinion.

The workers are going to find a way to be here anyway. This at least will help to know who they are. (the ones that legally participate anyway.) I would rather see it happen this way. I have been on scene when one of those trucks full of dead men who just wanted to work, were found. It is a heartbreaking sight.

My ex-husband is a Border Patrol agent, with a high level homeland security position and he says it will help. I believe him. He has a strong tendency towards negativity a lot of issues. So, if this doesn't raise alarms in him, I'm not going to let it alarm me.

This is the same argument that the drug legalizers use. They're going to use drugs anyway, so let's legalize it and reduce crime. He thinks he's taking DemocRATS arguments away for the election, but with this one, I believe, he is only hurting himself and giving the third partyers amunition against him. The DemocRAT's voters are not going to desert them, but borderline Republicans sure will desert Bush over things like this.

We were wondering the same thing. It has been a security NIGHTMARE to find and register all the "illegals". They are not going to get "amnesty"..and they will have to be "registered" and we'll know "who and where" they are.

Not only that.. they will "pay" taxes.

This could be a REALLY good thing.

We are still looking at "ALL" aspects of it and not having a "knee jerk" reaction to it.
