I just wonder how many immigrants this country would need on the tax rolls to pay for his tax cuts, the retiring baby boomers... (The Latinos would certainly give a good run at repeating the baby boom)... WhaT? They're Catholic.... no birth control... Stop looking at me like that I didn't mean it that way.
So, if I were Bush, I'd wanna get every available Latino south of the border over here before the amnesty goes into effect. If only one in a family of five works... that's a lot of immigration.
Bush hasn't given a flying fig about any other issue to make the average citizen a little more comfortable, why would this issue be any diffrent? Hell no, he's got a hole to dig out of. Cut the deficit in half before you leaves office. You can't start a baby boom now and then expect them to be working in two years... Even in China they wait until they're five years old. But we need the ranks filled yesterday. Which means we need a large influx of people of working age.
Bush Sr. was a strong proponent of more hands working, more productivity, more revenue. There's another thing to consider, with impending war in at least two more countries, we are gong to need conscriptions. Who better to draft first? And if that's the case, believe me, that border will be sealed tighter than a baptist girlsss..... sorry, ahem... where was I? Ahh yes, they are going to wish it was still open so they could dodge the draft.

My idea for the "anchor baby" issue is this, you have a baby in America, you have 2 choices, give it up for adoption in chance of a better life or, take the baby back to Mexico with you and the rest of your family. I thought that was a bit abrupt, but a viable solution.

You bring up an interesting point. How can the illegal parent be a legal guardian of the child? Wouldn't the child be automatically remanded to the state and the mother deported?
Alas, this is not the case, 99. As we discovered on another thread, once you are a legal citizen, you have the right to bring your immediate family with you. As I sit here and think about it, I don't immediately see a way to remedy that without singling out Latinos. Otherwise you wind up affecting a whole lot of people that aren't necessarily violating the law, or Mexican.
Once again, I believe this law was written this way to encourage population growth in America.
Just an end note here. I don't have the numbers, but can we stop calling them Mexicans. They are coming from all over Central and South America, through Mexico. Just thinking aloud.
