Bottom line: This is where W and I stand on different sides of the street.

My grandparents were immigrants and they had to jump through hoops just like everyone else, including the legal immigrants from South and Central America, to become American citizens!
Now these illegal immigrants from south of the border are getting preferential treatment just because they are from next door, they're here now and W doesn't have the cojones to enforce the immigration laws on the books and deport them back to where they came from!
RR tried this amnesty BS in the eighties and it didn't work then and it won't work now!

Well guess what W...
I got two words for you and the illegal Hispanics, Latinos are whatever the hell they want to be called...and it ain't Happy Birthday!

Get in line, amigos, and wait like the rest of us did or stick it where the sun don't shine!!!

Comprendo?
Bueno...

PS If anyone doesn't think illegal immigration doesn't cost Americans a bundle in taxes and jobs, I have the stats to prove you wrong!!!

I have no doubt you're right. The question is what to do about it. Round up the 10 million-plus here, ship them back & close the borders? I'm cetain it wouldn't work and it would be a huge mistake to try -- we'd lose the Hispanic vote for generations if not for ever.

We could try to "crackdown" on businesses that hire illegals. Again, I doubt it would work. Some unpopular businesses might take a hit but those whose success is based on political connections would thrive and continue to hire illegals, and frankly those are the businesses I'd like to see go under.

Also, you'd have the more serious entreprenuers take their capital & go offshore. If you think outsourcing is a problem now . . .

I like Bush's plan. Those who are here illegally can petition for residency by paying a small fine. As I understand it, they don't jump the line for citizenship.

And of course, once here legally, they pay taxes, businesses have to give the SS and the minimum wage which means some of the advantages they have over the native born disappear.

Also, we can now start keeping track of them, which I don't think is possible under any other scenario.

I fully agree with your sentiments and I also am just plain sick of these people coming in here and destroying neighborhoods whereever they go and not to mention the increase of crime in the area.... PATROL THE BORDERS!
