So you think we should legalize the current crop of illegals, and while that is going on we’ll get a new crop to replace them.

No. The "new crop" would be legal. We would know who they are and where they are, which is not the case today.

In order to believe that there is some solution fundementally different from what is proposed, it's necessary to believe that we can round up illegals and remove them permanently, and that it's possible to prevent illegals from coming here. I no longer believe that is possible because of political and legal realities. Short of the US becoming a totalitarian country, it just will not happen.

I don't like the entry of mexican culture into the US any more than anyone. It's a loser culture. I just think that enforcement is the wrong medicine. It hasn't worked for decades, and I don't think it ever can. I think we should spend our energies fighting the political correctness that prevents us from assimilating these people into US culture (learning english, going to college, etc.) For a fact we would have *some* success with a push to assimilate, where the current struggle to just keep mexicans away has totally failed, and I don't see any way that fact will change.

If you aren’t the traitor, Jorge Bush, you must be writing for him.

“...and that it’s possible to prevent illegals from coming here.”

Uh, how many do you think would be coming if we SERIOUSLY began ferreting out and fining employers who hired them? The number would go down to near ZERO.

One good and easy way to start would be to observe the corners where groups hang out for day labor. Illegals get picked up for labor, authorities then stop vehicle, arrest all including the driver/employer AND seize the vehicle. Do this a few times and the “third world hiring halls” would disappear.

That statement is in itself a "CROP"! According to your Dream, if this bill were to pass and be signed into law, not a single alien would ever break the law and slither into this country. They would all come through the proper border check points. But ... they are coming in today and by tomorrow the will have documents that say they have been here since 1999.

How about a provision to this bill that states, "if you are currently in the U.S. illegally then you have 6 months from the date this bill becomes law to register with the U.S. Immigration service other wise you will remain illegal and be deported."

That's what many tippy-toe around...again afraid of the racist moniker. Fact is you are correct. All Latin countries are 3rd world. Ignorant. Depressed. Corrupt. Full of crime and violence. It's not racism. Just an attempt to not let a "loser culture" overtake and kill off the greatest culture in the world.
