If President Bush is more concerned with the Hispanic vote than the plight of unemployed Americans, he should run for president of Mexico. I'm sure they would grant him guest politician status."

Let's pretend. Let's pretend that Bush had come out and called for a massive law enforcement initiative to track down, arrest, and deport every illegal alien. Now be honest. Where would his popularity stand right now among Americans? How would that have affected his reelection chances? How would that have upset our diplomatic relations with Mexican president Fox?

Face it; there is no popular will to track down, arrest, and deport all illegal aliens, especially those from this hemisphere. The Democrats want an even more expansive amnesty program. Bush wins this issue at the cost of -- at worst -- the continuation of the status quo.

We've already got one war, the one against Islamic terrorists. We don't need another war against the people who are picking our lettuce, washing our cars, and really simply doing what any responsible individual ought to do--work to seek a better life.
