I notice that the machine is used against Republicans, for a change. Probably makes it safer to stop pretending the noise machine isn't really there.

But the "amnesty for illegals" argument is just a red herring. Those 'against' amnesty would also be against setting up the machinery needed to send them to country of origin. I estimate a buracracy of 400,000 added U.S. gov't workers and about 200 billion a year. Detention facilities, courts, transportation, all need to be greatly enlarged. The 'conservatives' have thrown Bush overboard but need an emotional wedge-issue to keep the wingers stirred up. I didn’t really care for a bill with more than 24 ammendments.
