Which brings us to the more controversial, and promising, part of Mr Bush's plan. To “match willing foreign workers with willing American employers to fill jobs that Americans will not do”, he proposes letting illegal aliens currently in America register for legal status. After paying fines and back taxes, they would then be allowed to work for a fixed period, after which they would have to return home. He insisted that this would not constitute an “amnesty”. Right-wingers said it did. “Now we've finally caught the president in a lie,” fumed Neal Boortz, a talk-radio host.

So if it isn't an amnesty then a Lewinsky isn't sex? My how our Presidents vocabulary differs from Merriam Webster. I didn't know Neal Bortz was a "right-winger", I didn't notice the author calling Ted Kennedy(a democrat from mass) a drunken socialist left winger who started this Immigration mess in 1965, could the author be biased?

Their disguise was averagely cunning. They came in a convoy: two pick-ups, each with a sheet of plywood over the bed, painted the same colour as the truck itself to make it look like the bed was empty, when in fact it was packed with Mexicans. Some 40 of them

Averagely cunning? A truck with 40 people in the back is nearly dragging it's rear-end on the pavement.

You can spot them a mile away.

I've never liked "The Economist" That's my individual taste. This rag always touts the big business/ open borders/ free traitor point of view. Much like the Wall Street Journal but at least the WSJ has some other redeeming features.

President Bush is absolutely wrong on this issue.
We want him to address the issue and get the illegals out of the country. Period!
