Gee, you don't even know what you are protesting, yet. Just rumors from a shaky source.

[Walkin Man]

Then what IS the motive??

The same as it has always been for the Republicans...DIRT CHEAP LABOR!

With the added "benefit" of driving down wages for law-abiding, tax-paying Americans.

The Rat party OTOH, wants the illegal flood across the Mexican/US border to continue because they are natural demoRat voters.

So you see because both parties want them they will NEVER really do anything that would stop the Mexican takeover of the southwestern USA.

To quote Texas Dawg "We are doomed!"

You know I thought it was bad with Clinton.. I would much rather have someone preoccuping himself with his self gratification that having someone run amuck ..since it is WELL KNOWN that the La Raza/Azlan/Mecha agenda is.. taking over the SW.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Sinkspur what's your take on this, other than bash those who disagree with Bush's latest domestic stinker?

[SUSSA]

Bush is all for amnesty for criminal aliens. The only thing that can stop him is if it looks like pandering to the criminals hurts his reelection bid.

The ONE thing that means more to Bush than anything else is retaining power. He will do ANYTHING he thinks will keep him in office. If amnesty for criminal aliens looks like it will cost more votes than it gains he will dump the idea faster than Monica dropped her drawers.

"...he wants to match `any willing worker with any willing employer.' "

So is he going to remove the cap on LEGAL immigration that makes people wait for the visa lottery to hit? That's the problem with the current system -- although there may be jobs available for willing foreigners, they can't get them under the immigration cap laws. The ones who can get those jobs are the illegals from Mexico. There are plenty of willing and educated foreigners in Eastern Europe and the Sub-Continent who are willing to legally immigrate to the United States but who can't. Why should the Mexicans get preferencial treatment by coming in illegally?

[Walkin Man]

If Rove goes ahead with this plan, he is really going to PO lots of allies.

This will only strengthen the hand of the demoRats, not to mention, give them about 8 million new voters!

Apparently the Republicans want to commit political suicide!

[deport]

Approximately 80 million white people will stay home next November 4.

---

Home from what? Where are they going to be next November 4? If you mean the election and voting then that is on November 2.....

80 Million..... where are you getting such a number? Bet you can't provide a source....... unless you mean that maybe the total that doesn't vote period and I'd say 80 million maybe low. There were only 105 million to vote in 2000. So almost 80% of those that voted last time aren't going to vote this go round? 50 Million voted for the democrat...

[Zipporah]

Not really.. re political suicide. There is NO alternative.. the elitists obviously have taken over both parties.. BOTH parties are promoting policies that are contrary to the will of the people.

[deport]

Heck they never vote so nothing is missing..... There are around 100 million that vote each Presidential election or less out of the Population of the US. These have always stayed home and never voted...... so nothing missed.

But 80 million of the 100 million or so that vote aren't staying home of this one issue.....

"Sources said the White House's biggest concern is that the new mechanism not penalize people who had followed the law and reward those who had not. (from Washington Post article)"

If they really able to set up program which does not reward people who had already broken the law in any way, that would be excellent. A well designed "carrot and stick" guest worker program could remove the incentive from illegal immigration and make current illegals want to hightail it for home. A well designed program, with job protection for current citizens, one which made illegal immigration illogical and costly could be really be in everyone´s best interest. However it would have to be a serious program with real penalties for illegalities, not something designed to garner liberal votes. But I´d be completely opposed to any program which rewarded past law breakers, which is what amnesty does IMHO. However the program has to in no way reward the people who broke the law. Otherwise we are just begging for more illegal immigration.

[deport]

You still haven't provided a source for the 80 million...... that is going to stay home.....

How many people were registered to vote 2000? any idea?

What's the VAP?

...just a thought.

[goldstategop]

Get the phones faxes and email circuits humming. This devil of legislation must NEVER see the light of day!

[Winfield]

But he WILL get my vote! Over and over, George W. Bush has proved he knows exactly what he is doing......and I trust him completely. He has earned my trust. The immigration matter is very serious and over years has become a monstrous problem.
No one seems to have the perfect answer, but something must be done. Again, I trust President Bush. He has information and facts that we are not privy to.

[Winfield]

In that case, you WILL get Democrats. Not too bright!
