Everything you say is consistent with what Bush said today.
He wants would-be immigrants to be obeying the laws.

My point about 'they are already here' is simply to refute the chicken-little sky-is-falling hyperbole. If large-scale illegal immigration were the death of our country, we'd be dead already.

Furthermore, Bush's intention is to cut illegal immigration, not increase it.

No, we're not dead....yet! We're on life support.

Those who obey civil and criminal laws are being told that some folks are more equal than others. If you are a segment of the population whose kid glove treatment will get votes for the powers-that-be, then you will be treated differently. You will be "accomodated". Politics as usual. The ends justify the means. Social and political skullduggery. It is no longer "illegal" to cross our borders without a passport or visa.

In my state, it's illegal to cross the border to another state to buy a bottle of wine that may be cheaper. Undercover and unmarked state police sit in wait for Pennsylvania license plated vehicles to patronize discount liqour stores, then "bust" them once they cross back into PA. Failure to pay your freaking taxes! Yet, in another part of this nation, an illegal alien can cross the border and get away with it. Heck, he/she can even get government permission to stay, without fear of prosecution. Citizens treated like crap. Non-citizens treated like royalty.

People are pissed off. The sooner Bush realizes this, the better his chances of retaining the White House come November.
