Any politician who even suggested that would never be elected dogcatcher again.

Given that a healthy majority of the electorate supports precisely that policy, your assertion is patently false.

[archy]

Not exactly a formula for future electoral success.

Bread and circuses works much better. For a while.

Any politician who even suggested that would never be elected dogcatcher again.

Nah. They'd just die in a *tragic campaign tour plane crash*.

Wow, according to your chart, FDR was the greatest conservative President ever. Thanks.

[RebelBanker]

Again: Please think about what it would take to round up and deport 8 to 12 million people - men, women and children. Then think about how that would look on every TV set in the world (with appropriate "compassionate" liberal commentary).

I guess you could put Ronald Reagan in that contingent when he signed full amnesty.

Reagan at least admitted that it was a mistake.

Bush isn't proposing amnesty.

In all but name he is. There is no enforcement mechanism in his proposal to repatriate blue card holders at the end of their stay. These are people who entered illegally and stayed for years. They have no reason to leave and therefore no motive to abide by a law without a means of enforcement.

They won't vote Republican either.

"Any politician who even suggested that [deporting illegal invaders] would never be elected dogcatcher again."

So you're saying the President should follow the lead of Democratic polls before considering whether he should enforce sovereign American law on behalf of the American people?

"Please think about what it would take to round up and deport 8 to 12 million people - men, women and children. Then think about how that would look on every TV set in the world (with appropriate "compassionate" liberal commentary)."

As opposed to all the conservative "commentary" pointing out the President's pandering, hypocracy, and refusal to put 'Principle over Party'?

[Tauzero]

"Funny Joe didn't mention Reagan's amnesty."

Reagan at least had the excuse of no historical example from which to draw conclusions.

What's your excuse?

[Poohbah]

Maybe the folks who advocate this think that they could do some sort of Nacht und Nebel effort.

[Tauzero]

"without making any suggestion at all about an alternative"

So?

Hey archy, your graph is wacky. What about the 6 million people in the armed forces during World War II(42-45). Sheesh what a crock.

We don't have to forcibly deport them all. First, institute a guest worker program that makes work permits in the US only available at an embassy or consulate within the country of origin. Second, start enforcing existing statutes penalizing businesses that hire these people not possessing the permits.

They'll leave on their own, in droves.

There are few among us who oppose a guest worker program or a rational rate of legal immigration. Those among you who mischaracterize our position in order to have a defensible position are out of line.

[F16Fighter]

"Maybe the folks who advocate this think that they could do some sort of Nacht und Nebel effort."

I hadn't figured you would surrender so easily, Poob.

[carenot]

Oh... wait a second... are they the ones that have that little 13-year-old kid that lectures everyone about adult issues?

You are attacking Kyle?

Anyway, he is 14 now.

[Dane]

They'll leave on their own, in droves

Really, they will leave on their own.

Huh, are you going to have the IRS have new powers and manpower to look over millions of businesses.

[Thorin]

In 1954, President Eisenhower deported 1.4 million illegal aliens. Was Ike secretly an admirer of the gestapo?

We need to enforce our immigration laws, not have a President who apologizes--as Bush has done--because they are are not "humane."

[Dane]

It is a proposal. It is up to Congress to figure out the specifics. This isn't an Executive Order you know.

[JustPiper]

Makes you feel important picking on a 13 yr old kid, who is now 15? Haven't outgrown your bully mentality? This kid shows more class and intelligence than you have

[arm958]

Farah is also on target about the other outrage: the willingness of some so-called conservatives to find excuses for what Bush has done.

That's why I just cancelled my subscription to the Wall Street Journal. Their editorials support this outrage. Anyone who puts money or political opportunity before country deserves contempt.
