Agreed with this. Bush has favored this course. Why isn't Congress acting on it? The only honest answer is a guest worker program.

Either our laws should mean what they say, or the law should not be there in the first place. Anything else makes a mockery of our laws.

I think Hanson's analysis of those programs was excellent. And his solution the only one with a chance to work. Unfortunately, our Pols are so afraid of the Chicano vote they won't do it.

Control our borders and enforce existing laws. Fine employers who hire illegal immigrants. Provide a mechanism of foolproof identification. Return to policies of English-language immersion and cultural assimilation. Pay more now in higher labor costs, but save far more later by avoiding entitlement, law-enforcement and social chaos.

total hypocrisy [re illegal aliens]

You got that right. Seems to me that an illegal from Mexico is OK, but an illegal from elsewhere is a terror threat. Heck even a legal migrant from elsewhere is considered as potentially a terror threat.
