Sam; Great comments! Both Iraq and immigration are very complex and democrats will need to be smart to maintain - or increase their support for these issues. The dems might be caught in an impossible situation with Iraq as it is so complex but immigration they could capitalize on if they would make it a terror issue. Seriously! It would help take away the terror card from republicans if they do the things at home which would make us more secure. .......I think the terror issue is a sick play on American emotions and I think Americans are also getting sick of it, but - until we get attacked again. And we will. Soooo, the dems need to get smart and not get caught on this issue. Respectfully; steve

I don't think that I have read on this thread how most of you would like it resolved. Whereas on the right wing threads I find that shipping them back to Mexico is the only acceptable way as they are illegal.. Now this sounds great in some respects to me. BUT how is this to be accomplished. Since they have not documentation cannot most of them go underground..? Also from watching the immigrants work up here they are essential to gardeners,Christmas tree farms.. asphalt work, construction....and so forth..... they would be missed by their employers immensely.. There is no calculating how much the consumer is saving by this inexpensive labor. It is a conundrum and quite frankly I didn't think the Bush plan was that bad. Give the devil his due...At least it might have been workable.
