You are aware that Bush is pushing to consolidate INS, the DEA and Customs into one organization. He is also moving to separate the INS enforcement branch who view illegals as law breakers from the "service" branch that view illegals as customers. That is what makes this bill vital, not the piddling 200,000 ditch diggers that may get cut a break. If you folks could get past your indignation and look at the law, of which, your so-called amnesty, is a minute part then you may just get a rational hold on reality. This solves a short term problem with people that are not terrorists and frees up the resources to focus on those that are a real threat. However, there seems to be no point in arguing this issue with any kind of civility since many around here just want to stir the nest and see who gets stung.
