Are Bush and the Democratic Party Going to Forgive all the Illegals now?

No Bush may want to but the Democrats know that the public does not favor legalization of illegals and if they want to have a chance at the 2008 election they best do what the Republicans forgot to do and that is listen to the will of the people.

The Democrats will give the following:\n\nLack of secure borders and illegal immigration control\nEnglish as one of many language for this country\nIllegal aliens amnesty\nAnd reinstatement of the draft.....\n\nOHHH they are going to do wonders for this Country.....yea, right!!!

As  of now, the joy is harmonious.\n\nUntil the cells here in the states get the go-ahead from their handlers to murder more American citizens.\n\nWhen this most unfortunate event occurs, the dems will lay blame on Bush and the reps.\n\nThe terrorists are well versed in our politics and understand that all the safe-guards that have been effective, such as the NSA programs and the Patriot Act will be removed by the Dem's.

???????.... No... The fact that Republicans "forgot" who elected them in the first place, and why they were they were elected had the greatest effect on the elections.... Spending like drunken sailors and trying to pass an amnesty for illegals didn't help at all. It wasn't so much that the Democrats won the election, as it was that the Republicans lost it.

about 6 months from when you cross the border, assuming that you came legally. If you are here illegally and you have been watching Mexican news on Univision, dont hold your breath. They make it sound like Bush will give papers to all illegal immigrants that are in the US, he does not have the power to do this on his own, the rest of the government has to agree. I dont think that it is very likely.

ILLEGAL ALIENS in America are here only because they are GUILTY of CRIMINAL VIOLATION  of our FEDERAL LAWS, Jumping our borders and living in a shadowy underground economy. They are morally culpable for shoving aside those who adhere to the law and enter these United States in orderly and Legal Fashion. Since when do criminals and cheaters receive pride of place for the blessings of liberty, over those honestly, earnestly and faithfully seeking to become American citizens? \n\nPresident Bush has called for a reasonable and civil debate over the issues of border security and immigration reform. But the American people understand there can be no responsible immigration reform UNTIL OUR BORDERS ARE SECURE. “Guest worker” amnesty programs ARE NOT a part of border security. Amnesty is not the answer. To grant amnesty to these trespassers is to say "You crossed our borders ILLEGALLY, You BROKE OUR LAWS and now we are REWARDING you with U.S. Citizenship -- Congratulations!" \n\nThis is unacceptable. \n\n To illustrate the absurdity of a "comprehensive" approach to ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS , and the more radical of the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT  advocates who are proponents of an "open borders" policy. We don't take a comprehensive, humane approach with drug dealers because they are breaking our laws and causing great damage to this country by poisoning our children. Similarly, ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS  violate our laws and Poison our system of Economics by TAKING JOBS  from American Workers, Keeping WAGES ARTIFICIALLY LOW, and Sucking MILLIONS of Dollars of TAXPAYERS MONEY out of our Welfare and Medical Systems. \nNot To Mention The Fact That A Majority Of ILLEGAL ALIENS Live And Work In This Country And Then Send Their Money Back Home To Their Families (Whatever Nation Their Families Live In) Therefore DRAINING The Economy Even Further. \nWhen The US Dollar Leaves The US... Its GONE From The American Economy. \n\nSome Will Argue that there are jobs Americans simply won't do, so that the importation of foreigners is essential. Whether these foreign workers are ILLEGAL ALIENS,  guestworkers, or permanent Legal Immigrants is a detail to be worked out by us, the argument goes, but our need for them is unchanged.Even many opponents of the proposed Bush Amnesty assume this to be true, leading them to propose new and improved guestworker programs, with provisions for stricter controls against Permanent Settlement, greater incentives to return, tighter enforcement against Unscrupulous Employers, etc. As well-meaning as such efforts may be, the basic assumption is false — \n\nThere is simply no economic reason to import FOREIGN Workers.If the supply of FOREIGN Workers were to dry up (say, through actually ENFORCING the immigration law, for starters), employers would respond to this new, tighter, labor market in two ways. \n\n1: One, they would offer HIGHER Wages, INCREASED Benefits, and Improved Working Conditions, so as to recruit and retain people from the remaining pool of workers.\n\n2:At the same time, the same employers would look for ways to eliminate some of the jobs they now are having trouble filling. The result would be a NEW Equilibrium, with Blue-Collar Workers making somewhat Better Money, but each one of those workers being more productive.\n\nMany people fear the first part of such a response, claiming that prices for fruits and vegetables would skyrocket, fueling inflation..NOT TRUE..Labor accounts for only about ten percent of the retail price of a head of lettuce,  so even doubling the wages of pickers would have little noticeable effect on consumers.\n\nThis Is For F**KIN TWINNKY(Above)\n\nSeveral people told me they used to do the "jobs Americans won't do" until local employers figured out they could get ILLEGAL Aliens to work for less than half the same amount. As an example, a young landscaper who used to make $15 an hour 10 years ago, can't get a similar job now for more than

I believe illegal aliens need to be addressed right now. Why wait for a resolution for another 2 years. All politicians do is talk about it and resolve nothing. My 2008 vote will be determined by what political party steps up and resolves this important issue in 2007, and not wait until the presidential election. The American people demand resolution now, not talk, the are tired of talk.

Go and vote democrat.  Then after we take back the congress they will start investigations of king bush and his cronies and put in some real election reform laws.

As the majority of Democrats voted DOWN the 'make English the official language" bill and voted DOWN the House bill on immigration and want to grant amnesty to everyone.....I'd say they are for illegal immigration.

Bush and Pelosi have been discussing 'comprehensive reform', read, 'you give me guest workers and I'll give you amnesty'.  However, Homeland Security has said processing just the illegals here under the Senate Bill would create a 10 year back log.  At first blush that isn't good news for anyone legally immigrating.  However, Gates also immediately began pushing for skilled workers, and he has both clout and celebrity value.\n\nThe adminstration seems to be jumping on immigration as the only area where there may not be gridlock with the new Congress.  Question is how all of the populist Democrats who ran on border security to defeat Republicans will vote.

Oliver - Very nice...that's something I would say. If in fact Bush wants Mexicans here, it's to pander to the perception that Democrats (bleeding hearts as we are) believe in immigration, without regard to the law.  It's an easy way to take a non-issue (you're either here legally or illegally, really), put a spin (ah, I'm just an old softie at heart, right Laura?)get the media to focus on something other than the atrocities of your administration, with very little political fallout.

They will find SOME excuse for bad Democratic behavior.  I could not even stomach the liberals during the Clinton years.  NO ONE said boo to ANY of his actions.  Perverts stick together, and I guess they are no better...

No they have applied for amnesty. It's one of the bills supported by the Democrats who now contol Congress. Perhaps a wall.............. a very high wall between our borders might be the solution to this horrible crisis that we now face.

It will take many, many years.  We have lost the respect of the world and our word means nothing.  When Bush told all of his lies to get us into this war for profit, he spoke on behalf of the American people.  When he was allowed to steal a second term in office, it appears that we accept this man and therefore are okay with the way he does business.  The only thing that could be worse is to sit idly by and accept another rethuglican to finish the job that the current thug started.  PLEASE VOTE A STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC TICKET and take at least 5 unregistered voters to get registered and drive them to the polls!!! America cannot afford another 8 years with that party in control and frankly unless you are wealthy or absolutely insane, how could any moral person go along with this current president, his administration and the party that supports his thuggery.  Sorry for the rant.....  Peace

They will realize it the same time the democrats realize President Bush is not running and stop attacking him.  \n\n\nDouble standards are a motherfu$$er

No, the government will absolutely not give amnesty to all the illegal aliens that have been rounded up. The reason is simple. Our so called president cannot, at this point, show any leniency to anyone who is in this country illegally, because to do so, would seriously undermine his war on terror. With Bush's approval rating around 30%, and in my opinion is still way too high, he is under a lot of pressure from the republican party to play nice, and make as many people happy as he can before his term is up. Otherwise we will have a democrat for our next president. Bush will make examples out of these people, because the majority of the American public wants it that way.
