Bush has always supported illegal immigration. The rightwing should have figured out GW's in the pockets of the big illegal alien hiring operations. Bush always goes where the money is. Doesn't care about the rest of us.

Tenchusatsu, we're going to raise the minimum wage to a livable wage and eliminate the surplus of jobs. Simple logic.. :)

re: JF, if we're going to "coerce" 11 million illegals to move out, who's going to fill the jobs they used to do? After all, unemployment is below 5%, is it not? Legal, controlled immigration. Not chaotic, illegal immigration. Why do you have a problem with that? By the way, the unemployment rate is LOWER in Mexico, 3.4%. re: America can't continue to be an exclusive zoning club. It's certainly NOT exclusive (remember 11 million you just quoted?). Send the illegals back to their jobs in Mexico, enforce our own employment laws, and revert to pre-NAFTA LEGAL immigration levels of ~250,000 per year. AND loosen up the immigration limits for knowledge workers, which are pitifully low. It's not that complicated just enforce the law; most every country in the world does it. John

JF, if we're going to "coerce" 11 million illegals to move out, who's going to fill the jobs they used to do? After all, unemployment is below 5%, is it not? Without increases to the legal immigration limits, illegal immigration will continue to be a huge problem. America can't continue to be an exclusive zoning club. We need (legal) immigrants constantly flowing in. Five percent of the workforce is roughly 8 million people. Then there are the people who have given up looking for work.......and the teens who can never find summer jobs. I think we'll manage.
