President George W. Bush stepped into the debate on Monday, announcing he would send up to 6,000 National Guard reservists to stanch the flow of illegal immigration along the US border with Mexico.
The president also backed efforts to help an estimated 11.5 million undocumented immigrants in the United States, more than half of whom are from Mexico, to work in the country legally.

it's not like we're running out of space.
if they are documented, then they will pay taxes on their money. that's all bush is after, and rightfully so.
The article I read didn't clarify that.Quoted post[/post]]
Allow me to clarify: Bush does mean the same thing for the Canadian border. In fact, he is even more serious about the Canadian border, and the waters on both coasts. The National Guard is not sent to enforce ANYTHING. They are sent to train the border patrols, coast guard, and other officials how to use their fantastic toys. They will be training border patrols, and their presence will be mostly unarmed.
He's more serious about the Northern Border because that's where islamic radicals come in mostly.
I don't know why it isn't. I don't even smoke it but the way I see it is it is a dangerous, mind-altering substance just like alcohol. They could make some money to battle the deficit with.Quoted post[/post]]
so if we are going to document illegal immigration from mexico, when do we legalize marijuana from mexico? same platform i think. if we are going to legalize mexicans to collect the tax money, might as well legalize dope. doesn't bother me any.
