The False Solution:

They say that if the Bush, Cornyn, McCain et al plan is shot down in a large enough fire, there will arise from the flames a groundswell of public opinion to deport them all.

That argument is not my argument. You should read more carefully.

The reality is found in Bush's statement that the American public does not have the political willpower to deport them. One should realise that this is not an opinion that Bush pulled out of his hat, it a product of polling data and focus groups.

This is a variation of the Xenophobia option in the dilemma behind the Bush Amnesty, and as such, is impertinent.

The second reality is that the left has their ideas about how the the illegals should be handled; Amnesty, as in citizenship. Whatever comes out of Congress will be a compromise and that compromise will be determined by the political power of each group.

Objection: incorrect definition of Amnesty, accompanied by hairsplitting.

Will you be marching down the street holding hands with PFAW?

Highly doubtful, as even a cursory reading of my post would indicate.
