How to Increase Illegal Immigration: Reward It Even More
Bush's bold new plan to increase the number of illegal aliens entering the United States is no joke. According to an article today in the Washington Times, newly disclosed details of Bush's plan show heavy Federal involvement in providing rewards for illegal immigrants - the kind of people one would think might be kept out of the country if we really are concerned about terrorists getting across our borders and hurting American citizens. If we're at war, secure borders are essential. But that's not the plan:
Millions of illegal aliens in the United States would be free from arrest and deportation, have access to tax-deferred savings accounts and Social Security credits, and get unrestricted travel to and from their home countries under President Bush's guest-worker program.
According to previously undisclosed details of the president's plan, which some critics have described as a limited amnesty, the proposal offers numerous "incentives" for the 8 million to 12 million illegal aliens to come "out of the shadows," Homeland Security Undersecretary Asa Hutchinson, the nation's border and transportation security czar, told a Senate panel.
