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.

Yeah... sure... because they get so much support from colored people right now... God forbid they go from 0.8% to 0.7%...

Of course it needs to be better regulated and controlled than it is, but as far as what to do about the current problem, I think the righties are fools if they expect a better bill after the next election. 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?

Thanks pal. It's good to be home and all, but I do wish I could have stayed for a month.

Very little tops the summer time in Italy. For me personally anyway. I'm sure you understand having spent so much time in Europe yourself.

History proves so mikey. Just think 1987 and what that Amnesty bill accomplished.

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.

Man do I feel a little groggy from the days travel and the 6 hour time difference. Am I getting old? This crap never bothered me before? Doh!

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).
