"Each day our nation fails to act, the problem only grows worse," the president said at the National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast. "I will continue to work closely with members of both parties, to get past our differences, and pass a bill I can sign this year." - President Bush
Didn't millions of Americans call their senators and say they were against this bill or any bill that would give amnesty? How come the will of the people can blatantly be ignored?
Try to lay off the whole "National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast" thing.....

HA! This is America, you think the government is for the people or something?

This is one place where my liberal friends and I part company. The only "reform" that our immigration laws need is to drop the allowance that children born in the USA are automatically citizens.... the "anchor baby" provision. IMHO, only children born to USA citizens should be citizens.
I would be willing to trade THAT for amnesty, but not anything else. The current proposal is so unworkable that it is no solution at all.... it's main purpose is to muddy the illegal status of people working in the USA.

I found this CNN typo inadvertently funny...

In addition to beefing up border security and increasing the number of Border Patrol agents, the immigration measure would create a guest worker program, which would allow migrant workers from other countries to work temporarily in the Untied States.

Agreed completely.
I also agree completely ( boy, that's scary )...Unfortunately, now in the USA, thoughts like that will get you branded a racist and bigot....pretty sad.

You do know that would require a constitutional amendment right? I say no thank you.

The argument has been made that our neighbors to the south are in such terrible shape because we've interfered with their economies and their governments, constantly decapitating nascent democratic socialist governments in favor of generalissimos with bronze scouring pads on their shoulders. It's a theory to which I subscribe.
But the answer to that, IMHO, is not to f*ck everyone over in this nation as well, but to stop propping up the wealthy, and practice non-inteference in other nations. I'd start by giving CAFTA and NAFTA the SHAFTA.
