Immigration ticklish for Obama
For the first time since taking office, President Obama is diving into the thorny details of the country's long-running immigration battles, summoning lawmakers to the White House this week for what aides say will be an "honest discussion of the issues" to "identify areas of agreement, and areas where we still have work to do."Honolulu Advertiser - Jun 21 5:46 AM

Who denied it? Even GWB tried (and failed) to do it. It's far cheaper than any alternative, such as mass arrests and deportations.

Trouble is too many ignorant yahoos who just want to punish the illegals without having any idea of the costs of doing so.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.

Bush certainly tried. Too many ignorant yahoos want them to get in line and go through the legal process like other legal immigrants. They keep saying 12 million and I've heard it is as high as twenty. When amnesty has been announced before, it just encouraged more to come. Maybe we should learn to secure our borders from the North Koreans. Shame on us and shame on both political parties.

I think that's what it's all about. If BHO can do this and shove unions, he will have it wrapped up for awhile. I will probably be dead before the democrats leave. Good news for some on both accounts.

As I recall, didn't Cali try something sort of like that via the back door of 'licenses for illegals' and 'motor-voter'?

I believe the solution of choice among the more thoughtful of the anti-legalization folks is attrition through enforcement via the use of E-Verify. E-Verify already exists so the additional cost is minimal--eliminate the jobs magnet through mandatory checking of employees' credentials to work in the USA and many illegal immigrants will end up self deporting.

The very way in which the term 'amnesty' is being used here--by both sides of the debate--shows how lenient and compassionate the USA has traditionally been towards illegal immigrants. In other countries, when the term 'amnesty' is used re illegal immigrants, it doesn't mean they get to stay--it means get out NOW and we'll let you leave with further penalty--try to stay and there will be criminal charges and jail time on top of deportation.

Costs???
And ignorant yahoos?

You may want to research your biggoted statements before you post. When the Bush plan failed and the laws were being enforced, it was reported that 1) the money being sent to Mexico had become much smaller and 2) they were leaving in droves..

So much for ignorant yahoos huh? (well, I guess there may still be some posting here)

The biggest recession in 70 years - Bush's way of sending illegal immigrants home

Yes--although I read one interview with an illegal who said that ironically a US recession tends to bring illegal workers to the US. This is because a recession usually hits Mexico, etc, harder than it does the US. Illegals do a lot of routine maintenance work that has to get done even in difficult times--whereas good jobs in Mexico are very dependent on expanding corporate prospects for US firms doing business in Mexico--which doesn't happen in rough times.

In the long run it would probably be cheaper to build a wall an put them up against it.
an illegal is an illegal which ever way you look at it.

Does that include the President's auntie from Kenya? She was to be deported before the election, but Bush shut down immigration enforcement proceedings to spare BHO embarrasment. She now has her own immigration lawyer.
