What American citizen goes rewarded and unpunished for breaking American laws? Only one falls into that classification and that is an AMERICAN POLITICIAN. Why the people aren't screaming for their local district attorney to immediately begin prosecuting illegal aliens is beyond my imagination.

Statehood for Mexico– it solves all the problems.

The illegals should be respecfully rounded up, respectfully shipped back and respectfully euthanized by a permanent US military presence on the border should they attempt reinvasion. Bush is trying to walk the tightrope of political expedience.

Will Jorge Bush consider "amnesty" for all IRS liens? Or is Washington's tolerance of a nation-within-a-nation exempt from U.S. laws only for noncitizens?

Bush just doesn't get it. Powell is an idiot. The immigration and security issues are as inseparable as last 9/12. One of those two amateurish "snipers" who held Washington hostage for a month was an illegal alien.

[sarcasm]

in a way that treats the Mexican citizens who are in the United States with respect.

Illegals must be summarily deported.

Something the article forgot to add that Bush also said:

"The long-term answer for the migration issue is to work in a way that encourages commerce on both sides of the border so people can find jobs here in Mexico, for starters. That's the long-term solution."

Freepers interested in knowing just what it is that the Bush Administration has been smoking on immigration should go to following link...

Cato Institute: "Willing Workers"

...and download the full report. Its author, Daniel Griswold, is at the Cato Institute (Libertarian think tank). He wrote an Op-Ed piece for the pro-immigration Wall Street Journal last week. The report is amazing! It lays out the case for recognizing the "reality" of Mexican workers, and their "benefit" to the U.S. And what is that? Cheap labor.

One of the other "benefits" it reviews is that each Mexican immigrant costs the U.S. Taxpayer a net $89,000!!!

You'll see that these pro-immigration Wall Street Republicans (e.g. Bush) are doing the bidding for the likes of the National Restaurant Association, and other employers of cheap unskilled labor. They want to hire these people cheap, reap the profits, and stick the taxpayer with the bill for Government services the immigrants use.
