I don't desire to make all illegals legal, I support President Bush's immigration reforms and have consistently said so for five years.
The solution is obviously simple; just change the law to legalize the ones who are illegal.
Sounded like it to me.
I agree that we need to reform our immigration laws so that we address the issues of the day. It needs to be done in a manner that does not reward curent illegal behavior and thereby encourage and invite more. The resulting laws of the land need to be enforced and the borders secured.
Those violating the immigration laws need to be sent home. Those employers hiring the illegals need to be prosecuted according to the law. That needs to happen with both the existing laws, and with whatever reform we come up with.
