Washington Post gives us
an idea of the amnesty program (called a “guest worker” program) proposed by Bush. I’m fuming as I’m typing this. What it comes down to is a completely unenforceable system that just means the status quo will be observed, minus billions in taxpayer dollars to support such a program. No increase in border security, no holding employers accountable for hiring illegals. Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colorado) has it right when he says,
Bringing workers out of the shadows is simply another way of saying we should legalize illegal immigrants…Yes, we should bring illegal immigrants out of the shadows, and then return them to their home country.
And shame on you employers for selling out your country! Shame on you politicians who institute and maintain safe-haven policies – also selling out your country!
Anyway, go read
the article for yourself.

Morally speaking Renee is right, but on a more practical level, if we can't get half a million people out of New Orleans who wanted to go, where will we find the wherewithal to remove 11 million people from the country, most of whom will evade capture? And at what cost?
Removing all the illegals is a nice fantasy, which is precisely why a Congressman has no problem going on the record about it. It will never come true, but by the same token, no individual, and certainly not the Congressman from Colorado, will ever be held accountable for failing to deliver on it. It's the perfect campaign pledge.
