This might be a good idea if it was accompanied by a closing of the borders combined with massive efforts to assimilate those who were already here.
By itself, an amnesty is not good for America.

Um, yeah. Okay. Most of the money they earn does not stay here. It goes back to Mexico. How does that help the economy?

If these people are as hard working as you claim, they should back home, working hard to bring their own country into the present.

You know the funny thing about MECHA is the fact that if they were to ever have California handed over to them permantely, the illegals would still be crossing over to the US.

What is your alternative? Throwing out all farmworkers? Some kind of guest worker program is the only way to keep the agricultural industry in the Southwest from going belly-up. There may be a need for guest-worker legislation that would allow farmworkers to enter from Mexico on temporary visas. That does not, however, justify allowing line-jumpers more freedoms than those who attempt to go through this country's long and arduous legal immigration process.
Personally, I'd support an amnesty for illegal aliens iff it was modeled after the RIAA's "amnesty" program: if an illegal alien goes to a government office before Dec 31, 2003, gives a photograph and fingerprints, and signs a form acknowledging their nationality and agreeing that if they are caught in this country illegally after Jan 1, 2004, they'll go to prison for five years; then after they've signed that form they'll be allowed to go home (i.e. their country of origin).

President Bush, your veto of this measure could reverse your slide in the polls. Yep, as soon as the price of a pound of your favourite veggies doubles!

We are having a Counter Call-In Day TOMORROW, 10-2...the illegals will be flooding the WH and Congress tollfree numbers! Here is our chance to CALL IN and tell them what we think also!

There's an interesting poll at www.cnn.com/lou. It asks: Should illegal aliens get the same rights as US Citizens? So far NO has 87%. Isn't it amazing how the politicians are only interested in the 13%??

BTTT I love this site! It takes all of the work out of faxing your homeboys on the issues. You only enter your zip code, it pulls up your Senators and Reps for you! It also has prewritten items that you can cut and paste into the window. Then it's just your address and presto...they are faxed for you! If you havn't checked it out, click on the URL and try it out.

Come on, don't you know we U.S. citizens should be forced to provide welfare, healthcare, education, etc. to every citizen around the planet? (sarcasm alert)
LOL Yeah, and if we don't, we're racists.
To: CIBvet
Yet another amnesty for illegals. What the heck.
Would someone please explain to me why I should have any regard for the law at this point in time? Anyone? Because I'm just about to lose it. If I said what I really wanted to say I would be banned, and that's after about four edits to tone this down!
Again, why should I give one flying fling at a rolling donut about the law? It's obvious that our "representatives" don't care about it, so why should the rest of us care? Why should we obey the law and go to work and pay taxes when we are betrayed every single day?

Ted Kennedy, like the Energizer Rabbit, never stops attempting to undermine American sovereignty. He is evil incarnate.

You've been misinformed. Less than 2% of illegals actually pick your lettuce.
Less than 6% pay any taxes.
25% are on public assistance. Why should we taxpayers subsidize someone's cheap labor?
28% of the prison population are illegal aliens who have committed crimes against American Citizens.
They cost us taxpayers $20,000,000,000 a year.
They displace 730,000 US workers a year.
