Not much, because Bush's inclination is still to pander to Latinos on the basis of coddling Illegal Immigration. But at least it's not worse.
OTH, It's better because Bush and the other pandering pols know that Americans are in no mood for their malfeasance on Illegals. Once in a while, they need to be reminded that they work for us, and serve at our pleasure.
So if his proposal would've passed, how would things be worse now in your eyes. It seems to me that the proposals defeat has had 0 effect on the alien worker problem. I mean, you got your way, so things must be going the way you want, eh?
I've explained it to you already... Amnesties encourage more Illegals.
Bush apparently wants to be part of the problem, rather than part of the solution. Therefore, thwarting his attempted surrenders is now a necessary part of the solution.
My point is that there was a lot of fuss over what amounts to paperwork. I see no big numbers of alien workers going home, nor are they going to go home. No government is going to create an exodus situation.
Certainly not one that you'd settle for. My point is that we can't continue to allow vast regions of our country to be overrun by Illegals.
Tell you what, though... Start a campaign to have your state of Illinois boost it's population by 1.5 million Illegals, so that your numbers are proportional to California's, and then I'll at least concede your intellectual consistency.
The Hebrews had manna from heaven, and a fire by night, a cloud by day. Are we going to take a chance that millions of aliens forced back over the border at gunpoint are going to get those gifts?
What happens to them across the border is Mexico's problem, not mine.But we don't need to force millions at gunpoint... With Total Asset Forfeiture, a few hundred thousand will do.
As for the rest...
They Will

:^) What's your answer? Lincoln tried it with the freed slaves, they couldn't adjust.
Lincoln and the slaves? I fail to see your analogy.
Eisenhower booted 1.3 million Illegals during "Operation Wet-back" in the 50s... Was there a sudden upsurge in the need for therapy for maldjusted Mexicans?
A large number of people used to life in one country can't suddenly pick up in another country.
Didn't that same "large number of people" leave their countries and come here rather suddenly?
Think before you post.
What exactly were you complaing so hard about?
I'm disenchanted by the fact that my state is overrun with Illegals, while obtuse Americans living North of the Mason-Dixon and East of the Mississippi have their heads in a place that ostriches wouldn't venture, and they feel mighty smug about it.
There is bipartisan malfeasance on this issue, and you're comfortable with it because the crisis hasn't reached your state.
Illegals have never been encouraged to come and they keep coming so your argument doesn't have basis in reality.
Oh wow... Truly an Amnesty Deniers' HoF post!
#3Fan, Illegals are encouraged to come by the fact that we don't keep them out, we let them stay, and often pay them to do so.
I realize Illinois is relatively far-removed from the problem, but that's no excuse for spouting patent nonsense.
A battle won by the libs. It will help libs get elected, and there will be more open borders.
If so, that only illustrates the point that on this matter, Bush might as well be a lib, because he's done squat to protect our borders from Illegals.
You're OK with that, I'm not.
And the "Would you rather have Hillary?" retort is getting rather tired. I know the Democrats are corrupt on Illegals, I'm fighting against the GOP going down that road as well.
Are you prepared to give elections to the libs by pandering to Latinos on Illegal Immigration? Quit acting as if Bush and the rest ot our party have no choice... They do. The have it in their power to do the right thing.
But if Bush chooses surrender and pandering, my vote will be lost.
