FITZ, it's anything but a political move. It's a Homeland Security move, a humane and ballsy move, and it will turn out to be a beneficial, effective and ultimately successful move. For America and Americans physical, soverign and economic security.
You guys just can't figure Bush out. You're like DemRATS, only less fun.
How on earth is a Homeland Security move? Tens of millions of illegals to be given "blue cards" which allows them to come and go as they please? Nothing stops them from selling or forging this card --- just like nothing stopped them from selling or forging Social Security cards, birth certificates and the famous green card. And where are all the immigration agents going to start when they millions of applications begin pouring in? And no one believes illegals are going to go back to Mexico and wait in line for the government to process these --- this does nothing about the organized crime rings producing fraudulent documents, it does nothing to stop illegals from crossing the border --- it will encourage more to do so.
Maybe not --- I think Vicente Fox is calling the shots on this one anyhow --- not Bush.
