I don't follow your logic.

Immigration with amnesty will just encourage more illegal aliens to come to this country.

Am I missing something??

Please explain how immigration with amnesty will solve our immigration problem.

Even if a Republican gets in, that Republican is not going to push an immigration bill that's more to your liking than the one Bush has proposed.

Yeah, Amnesty is the answer, just as it was in 1987. Oh, how'd that work out for us?

Most Republicans I know would actually like them to start with the SH!T that is already on the BOOKS. Secure the boarder NOW, deport illegal CRIMINAL aliens NOW, and then we'll figure out what to do with the law abiding ones that already made their way over. Without a sincere effort to take the security aspect serious, I have ZERO inclination to support any shamnasty program.

Welcome back RW, missed ya around here.

Among other things, the bill would have strengthened border security with thousands of more agents, fences, cameras, and radar. And it would have created a program so that employers could verify the legal status of their employees. It would have also created an amnesty program for many (most by some accounts) of those who are already here (and, Mikey, there's no way we're going to throw 11 million illegals out of the country).
