So, all this "talk" is not without consequence.

So you don't want Bush to say ANYTHING at all about immigration, is that right?

I want Bush to say that he's going to lock down the border and mean it. I want Bush to say that he's going to offer a guest worker plan that says that if you're caught in the country illegally after a certain date, that you will be deported and NEVER be eligible for guest worker status. I want him to say that those who do wish to participate in the guest worker program will apply - in person - at the embassy or American consulate in their nation of origin.

The way he's saying it is giving a green light to all who want to break and enter our country in hopes that they'll get rewarded.

Of all of these things the only things he has control over is the first one - securing the border - and what he says. He can control what he says and how he says it. He must understand that his or his administration's words have consequences and that the illegals truly think he's going to give away the farm to them. And from what he's saying, I can understand why they think that.

He has to give a strong incentive for them to stay out and for those here to leave on the next bus. He's got to back that up with real border security and then an improved system for limiting entry and tracking them once they've entered.
