Well, as a Christian, a prosecuting attorney, a life long Republican and delagate to this years Colorado State Republican Assembly, I can't keep my mouth shut. I am one who has been very disappointed in much of the Bush Adminstrations governance. I feel Cheney and Rumsfeld should be fired or resign and that Carl Rowe is the scum of the earth. That being said, I think the President got it exactly right this time-His program imposes sufficient penal provisions on the illegals that there is no way that this is an amnesty program. The real amnesty bill is the Tancredo Bill that the House passed. Because it fails to comprehensively address what is to be done about the illegal aliens already here, nothing happens with or to them- and THAT is amnesty. So-I fully support the President-It would be nice to just deport them all-but that is clearly impossible, and without addressing their status now, closing the border would also be impossible.
