'President Bush returns to work Monday on the volatile issue of immigration, where his hope for a legislative breakthrough is complicated by cold relations with Congress.

Bush will be back in Yuma, Ariz., to inspect the construction of border fencing and to push for the creation of a guest worker program and a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. The trip serves as a bookend to the visit Bush made to the same southwest desert city last May.'

More on the story here.

Dear Mr. President:
I listened closely this morning to what you had to say about immigration reform.  I heard you say that we must address ALL aspects of illegal immigration but I did not hear you say a single word about enforcing the existing laws against hiring illegal aliens.  This is probably the most important aspect of immigration reform and you left it out.  Your premise that, in order to deport the illegal immigrants that are here, you have to find them, round them up and ship them home, is not necessarily true.  If you simply enforce the laws against hiring illegal aliens, most of them will go home on their own.  There would be no reason to stay.  Also, as a result of enforcement of the law against hiring illegal aliens, pay and benefits would go up for those jobs where benefits are now non existent and the pay is so low that no one except illegal aliens can afford to work there.  And, they can only afford to do the work for so little because they are living half a dozen to a garage or four families in an apartment meant for one or in a tent under a freeway bridge and sucking the tax coffers dry with free medical care and food stamps.  Your plan for "immigration reform" should not even get out of committee in Congress without a strong provision to enforce the law against hiring illegal aliens. 
I am a republican.  I am one of the few who still support you on the war on terror and I believe that your  tax policies are at least  partially responsible for the current strong economy.    However, I oppose open borders, NAU, AMERO DOLLARS and SPP.  I am sick of  those in government pretending that these plans don't exist.  Many times, as a society in general, we prefer to exist in the bliss of ignorance but we are not THAT dumb! 
We demand a reversal of this course of action!  Secure the border!  Enforce existing laws against hiring illegals!  Change the immigration laws to eliminate anchor babies and limit existing anchor baby/family extensions.  Stop importing slave labor and let labor costs and commodity prices be set by the market.
Sincerely,
John H Pierson Jr.
Major USMC Ret.

We will never ever have a high enough fence,or a secure border until this traitor is out of office or hopefully impeached before that,along with a whole bunch of congressional traitors!If the american people fail to elect a President that cares about his country,America,and its people,americans,this country surely will be finished! Tancredo 2008!
