So what position of the administration and/or GW Bushes on illegal immigration do you support?
Bush has approached the issue on two fronts in the last couple of months...we can all debate the significance, but it's not like he has ignored the issue.
1. He met with Vicente Fox in Cancun and urged the Mexican leader to reform his country, which curroption and economic disparity drives illegal immigration in the first place....this must be done because it is the diplomatic route.
2. He has, in the latest DHS appropriation bill (a little research will point to this), increased funding to the border patrol. And has started the process, years back, to break the US up into military districts (much as we do the world)...may be the start of border militarization, which so many on FR advocate...
He has also by edict, (if not decree), ordered that current work laws be enforced...local businesses etc. shouldn't be employee illegals in the first place, however, being realistic a transitory measure is being advocated that allows illegals currently with a job, etc., to apply for work permits etc. (some are calling this amnesty, but that's not what it is)
There's a lot of hysteria going around, but this fact pattern has been around for decades...it's a political football now, because with the economy good, and no terrorists attacks on US soil, or embassys, etc...of late...immigration is the only thing Bush's enemies feel they can hit him on...and are willing to distort the facts, and pump up hysteria, to do so.
