#1 Neither does Hagelâs plan, said Mike Buttry, the senatorâs spokesman. âSenator Nelson must be confused how Sen. Hagelâs bill worked,â Buttry said. âIt was not amnesty. Senator Hagel agrees with President Bush on this issue.â

Okay, how about calling it "stealth amnesty"? After all, that's what is really is, isn't it?

Hagelâs plan provided a pathway to legalized status for illegal immigrant workers and their families already in the United States. They would need to comply with a list of requirements and pay a $1,000 fine.

And there you have it. Amnesty with a price. Might as well spit in the faces of those who chose to go the fully legal route.

#2 I think this "Legal, Illegal Immigrant thing is a real annoyance.

Let's try something entirely different, open the US-Mexican border to all, then shortly when Mexico is near empty, just annex the territory formerly known as the United States Of Mexico, and move in.

It should be much easier to defend the former Mexican southern border, it's much smaller.

#3 I'd rather Mexicans stayed in Mexico. We need people who are willing to be Americans like the rest of us.

#4 I agree, that's exactly why these people "Vote with their Feet" to become "Norteamericanos"

#5 Nelson will introduce legislation designed to help secure U.S. borders by increasing border patrol agents and improving surveillance.

Since the Bush administration has refused to hire and fill the increase already authorized, why does anyone believe more bills for more agents will result in anything beyond another token ten or twenty at one spot ever showing up.

It's called cost avoidance stupid! Let one big one sneak across the border and you're political dead meat. Those who are mollifying the effort to secure the border will be road kill along with all the idiots who've gone along with them. The Dems will kill you with "Why the hell are we fighting in Iraq if the Republicans can't even secure the border here!". Dead meat I tell you.

#7 "...automatic deportation of any illegal immigrant who commits a felony."

One would think that would already be the law.

BTW- The GOP will never allow the Democrats to annex the Illegal Immigration issue. Most likely there will be a version of the Guest Worker proposal stuffed in the collective shute of the Americans. And tighter border security will be used as the proverbial reach-around.

#8 Most likely there will be a version of the Guest Worker proposal stuffed in the collective shute of the Americans.

And probably complete with the ability for the "guest worker" to import family members of all stripes via petition/sponsorship...
