Quite frankly, I’m not concerned about amnesty.

I object to the slave labor guest worker program. It’s a deal breaker for me.

I also think that the wall is bull$%#@. 30% of illegals overstay visas, and the draw is employers.

Strong anti-employer measures is what is needed.

Yes, I am suggesting that absent a need to pass any bill right now, it’s best to take Bush a notch.

We can do something with a Dem in the WH.
