The fact of the matter is that we and the ones who care are discussing this on threads like this and expressing our viewpoints and getting them known to our reps and senators and trying to address issues that are problems. And we have a president that is also trying to "Propose" ideas to address this problem. Compare it to the opposition who are just beating to the tune of a different drum that squarely puts them in the very very minority of this country.
We can disagree on the nuances of the policy but at least GWB is addressing the problem. Give it to the DIMs and they advocate total amnesty with ability to get welfare, citiezenship rights and fast track to citizenship... The difference is clear as night and day.

You understand that we have the illegals here and more are always coming. It doesnt matter whether they have total amnesty or not. Bush's proposal will bring in more and so will the democrats. If the democrats can show that the guest workers are second class they will get more of what they want one way or the other. There is little difference.

I think that many, like myself, expected better 'proposals' from GWB, since 'guest workers' are an issue he even campaigned on.

Many issues should have already been addressed. Such as, the 'revolving door' on our borders, MANDATORY employee verification, NO acceptance of any foreign ID cards, doing away with 245(i) rather than trying to extend it.

Any or all of these (& I'm sure there's more) if already implemented, would help with security & curbing illegals.
