A great idea about building the wall..... or why not make the people who collect welfare checks (Americans AND others) do the so-called jobs that the Prez says "nobody wants?"

I personally think this is a major slap in the face to EVERY immigrant who came here the LEGAL way.
I agree with Deano; it's not a Dem or Republican issue...it's BOTH. Every administration has turned it's back on this problem. As for Bush, he has basically lost whatever voting base he had, by NOT doing something about this. You can't be in bed with Vicente Fox, and at the same time be standing up for your own country. If he's seemingly now trying to drum up support with "his base" he needs to get a clue. The boat has left without him. "It" will stay home in November. (Use me once shame on me, Use me twice, shame on you....something like that)
