#1 Interesting. The Democrats think this is the new Third Rail of politics and are pandering as fast as they can - ignore the PR stunts by Richardson (NM) and Napolitano (AZ) - they were just trying to smear Bush. W sticks with his program, which was wildly distorted by almost everyone into an amnesty program. And the Third Way, simply enforcing the laws on the books, has gained a lot of steam. Should be bloody. I think the split on the right, the inability to find any common ground and unity, will cost the Republicans some House seats. The Democrats are certainly unified -- they'll suck up to anything that might vote.

#2 It'll solve nothing till the underlying cancer of the corrupt Mexican political culture is totally destroyed as Saddam's Baathis. It is not in their interests in the least to end the means to dump millions of their unemployed to insure the continuation of their power.

#3 So true, EF. That Mexico has decided they need not develop into anything more than a backwater collection of the fiefdoms of robber baron families is the problem. The US will soon stop being their solution. It can be draconian or it can be more gradual, but the game is definitely about to end.

I hope the internal pressure in Mexico builds to the breaking point, too. The "slumlords" of Mexico need to feel the pain of their people.

#4 "In my judgment, amnesty would be the wrong course of action..."


Amnesty? No…certainly not! Please…don’t call it amnesty…its “earned citizenship”. It’s more like…you know…these people are our guests and you don’t want to be rude to your guests. Granted, their first act upon entering the country was breaking the law but…c’mon…they’re “workers”…and what choice do they have if there aren’t any “good” jobs in their country. And if they’re skilled enough to exploit the laws and evade capture…doesn’t that just go to prove they have alittle ‘merican ingenuity? Just what they need to succeed here in the land of opportunity. Even the ones that get caught crossing the border 13 or 14 times…hell…that show’s gumption dammit! So…no to amnesty (spit…spit), our guests have earned their rights.

#6 Article: "A guest worker program designed to process the legal temporary flow of workers will allow Mexico and the United States to better comabt criminal organizations specialized in the smuggling of migrants and the use of false documents...," the advertisement said.

My view is that no matter what "guest worker" program we come up with, we need to seal the border. If we're going to start importing workers from abroad, why get them all from Mexico? Surely we can import some from Europe, Asia and Africa. The Mexican government doesn't really want unlimited immigration - it wants unlimited immigration from Mexico.

#9 I'm for moving the border further south and thus bring a better lifestyle to more and more American Indians (that's what they are). When the euro-mexicans get the balls to stop our southward creep, then we'll declare 5 or 6 new states. Baja California will be just that.
