Strange. Bush doesn't mind 3 million Mexicans coming over but has a problem with 20,000 Cubans. And neither did Clinton or Gore. They DID PRACTICALLY NOTHING to stem the tide of illegals, despite the Jordan Commission making a number of recommendations. utexas.edu But note that the JC does NOT recommend a guest worker registration process for illegals, which I think is basically the smartest answer that encourages compliance as opposed to defiance. As for the Cuban influx.. the last time we had a mass exodus of Cubans, Castro released the majority of his criminals and sent them to the US, where they many were re-incarcerated at US taxpayer's expense. But I will grant that neither party has been effective in making progress on this issue, which I believe is unforgiveable given the events of 9/11. Hawk
