No, the fundamental question is will elected officials enforce the laws already on the books before they ask us to admit 20 or 30 or 40 million new citizens, many of whom may not be candidates to become good citizens, most of whom do not speak English and a large share of whom are likely to cost society more in taxpayer financed benefits than they can ever hope to contribute in taxes.
There is a middle ground between deporting everyone and giving everyone amnesty. You, Mr. President, need to find that middle ground and not just cater to one extreme by demonizing your opposition.
Let's start by telling the truth-- selling American citizenship for token fines is still amnesty. You might be a little more honest by calling it conditional amnesty, but it is amnesty nevertheless.
You might get a little more support by giving middle America, on whom most of the costs of your legislation will fall, at least as much input in writing it as the Mexican govenment, MALDEF, MECHA, La Raza and other pressure groups who will reap most of the benefits from what the rest of us will be forced to pay for.

Fool me once...
