I must say I have a problem with HOW Bush is trying to go about this...he is trying to force a Bill, without cleaning it up, and which includes some VERY BAD legislation -- which includes the driver's license issue with illegals. (still cannot believe he supports this madness)....
My opinion is that this is part of why Tom Ridge is quitting. He is not buying into a piece of crappy legistlation just to be getting it out. Bush is putting the big-time press on this to get it passed...not good.
The only person making logical sense is Sensenbrenner, et al. They ARE RIGHT --- just look at history. Every time the U.S. puts a major policy piece of legilation in place that is heavily flawed, it takes 30 to 40 years to get it rectified...we cannot afford that kind of time while illegals and other potential sources of terrorists and enemies have free reign to cross our borders, just to name ONE OF THE ISSUES IN THIS.
The bill is poorly engineered and contains an ungodly amount of MAJOR PORK... Washington is still drunk on tax money, spending like drunken sailors, and then complaining because we need "SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM" to replace the bucks THEY have stolen from same....Washington is out of control. Votes are more important than THE SECURITY AND INTEGRITY OF THE UNITED STATES...as well as protecting the significance of our laws, the significance of citizenship, our national security, our borders, and the inherent rights of legal, tax-paying citizens -- the one's who pay the overhead that Washington is.
