Legalization of what? Duh! I'm in the Immigration Category, aren't I? I would have thought that would be obvious to someone of reasonable intelligence.

This is what I've saying in all of my previous answers. The Americans who bennefit from the illegal immigrants are more numerous and more powerful (big corporations, some govenment agencies, etc.) than those who keep whining about it. At the end that majority will prevail no matter how much whining the antis do. So, We might as well face it.

Not unless Bush wants it (and he does).
If Bush were to veto any amnesty bill, the Democrats wouldn't have enough votes to overturn his veto. Republicans would have to approve as well.
Also, Bush has already proposed guest worker visas which is loosely veiled amnesty.
The last President to provide amnesty: conservative Reagan.

Actually the Democrats only really have control of the House of Representatives. To pass any bill in the Senate will require some Republican support.
What is it that you are so certain will be legalized?

If that happens, then the Dems might as well face the fact that there will be a new Revolution. The $hit will hit the fan.

I think they just want the North American Union which is much more scary than legalization.

Do you think so? A lot of the Democratic freshman House members ran on border security platforms.
I think we have to play it as it is dealt.

Amnesty? I don't know. It's a really hot issue.
I think congress is a bunch of chickens. I think that they will be too scared that they will loose their jobs because there are too many people upset.

And they'd still have to get past Bush's veto, which they don't have the votes to override.
Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

God I hope so. I am tired of paying taxes so these "criminals" can get free education, health care, etc. Send them back to where they belong!

Legalization of drugs? Not on their political life, and they know what would happen if they did. The majority of people in the US don't use illegal drugs.
