You know, this thread has done more to make me fear for the future of the United States than almost anything else I've ever seen.
This is supposed to be a bastion of conservatism - politically astute people suggesting politically astute policies - and instead half of you posters are acting like it's no big deal if Bush goes ahead and offers illegal immigrants amnesty.

I think Bush is right on with this proposal.
