Many illegals don't have the documentation to establish which provisions would apply to them.

Well, there is a whole industry which produces forged documents to accomodate this constituency.

Here's the trick ~ the Dems think they're going to get a big batch of Mexicans who will be so indebted to them they'll vote Dem in 6 years (after getting citizenship).

Problem is I can acquire an almost unlimited number of Chinese and Indian nationals (and a nearly unlimited number of Indonesians, Pakistanis or Nigerians) at far less cost and outfit them with all the documentation they need faster than the domestic forgery industry can provide for the Mexicans.

In the end, the Mexicans will still be uneducated illegal aliens without documentation of presence, and we Republicans will have 10 to 20 million new hard-core Republican voters, fully educated ~ most with a Masters degree or better.

The Dems are doomed I tell you, doomed!!!

Agents in Mumbai are working hard as I speak.

As I send letter after letter, sign petition after petition,and support anti-illegal efforts, to Bush and other Pubs, I find myself so frustrated that when these 12-19 million get here legally due to 'bi-partisanship of W and Dems', I will resolve never to buy or support anything that smacks of this deal. Ever.
