They are coming illegally now, and there are ways to do it legally now.

         It's a lot easier to do it illegally now, especially if we throw up our hands and make them legal every time there are a large number of them. That's what was done in 1986, and that's what Bush is proposing to do now.

          If anything happens to put an illegal alien in jeopardy the ACLU and the Southern Poverty Law Center jump right in the middle of it, in spite of the fact that these people are clearly not Americans.

          Bush, of course, is in it to assure big corporations an endless supply of cheap labor. This drives down the value of labor here, and weakens traditional Democratic constituencies. Though the Dems. seem content to take up the cause of the illegals as well, which probably makes less sense than anything.

          Dana Rohrbacher is trying to get the two agents pardoned. His brother is intrumental in putting out watering stations for illegal crossers. There doesn't seem to be a lot of consistancy on this issue.
