Geez, what's wrong with the proposed program? Didn't any of these people's ancestors come in through Ellis Island?

I like it - Bob J, "DU plant". (**snicker**)

You had us fooled all this while, lad. :-)

Ha! Well, crossing a land border is much easier than crossing an ocean and that is the sticky wicket. We have an endemic problem that won't be solved by erecting a wall. Constructing a plan that addresses the core issues, illegality, health, taxation, welfare (those whose problem is the color brown will never be satisified) without alienating, what is now and will be more so in the future, an important voting block, is the key. Conservatives cannot defeat liberalism without the hispanic vote. I'd rather compromise on a few issues and be sitting in the legislative, judicial and executive drivers seat than crying foul! in the wilderness. Call me a pragmatist, a sell out, whatever. Just call. Heheh...
