You keep saying amnesty--amnesty means total forgiveness and no strings attached.Not in the political arena. Bush's plan will grant legal status to illegal aliens, and that is amnesty. "To suggest otherwise," as the National Review put it, "is an insult to our intelligence."

I disagree with you and the National Review. President Bush is the only one who has tried to do something about the millions of undocumented illegals who use our hospitals, social services, schools, etc. Instead, the National Review, yourself and others such as Tancredo, believe that sending them back is the only solution. There is no workable situation considered.
Just imagine troops raiding homes and sending back in trains and buses under guard the illegals. Imagine inquiring of all that look like illegals (that might include me)as to identification proving I was an American.
Many of the illegals have children born in the United States and therefore what would you do with their children.?
The brazero program used to exist in the United States. At least President Bush is attempting to tackle the problem. For 8 years under Clinton nothing got done and even before that nothing got done. Why do you think that the immigration laws are not enforced? B/c they are very difficult to do and no one wants to do it is my guess.
And Tancredo wants to pass a bill that denies all illegals medical/social care. Back to asking everyone in the ER if they have insurance, American ID before being treated. Is this what the conservatives really want?
I am curious--what do you think is a good solution to the millions of illegals already living here in the United States?
