Hi all,

I just read that the border security bill was signed by Bush. What does this mean to us ? Will it slow down our already dead slow progress still further ?

Could u all please put down ur thoughts regarding this here ?

Unless you are an illegal immigrant thinking about crossing the Mexican border, it means nothing to us...

[CCC2006]

The concern is that 4 years back when the elections took place, the whole of immigration department was put into chasing illegal immigrants because of which the whole GC processing got delayed in the first place due to lack of manpower. Phew !! that was a long sentence.

Can this happen again (diversion of manpower I mean)? Or I am totally wrong here ?

I am not expert, but this is good thing, if you read further, Bush says fencing alone will not solve the problem and he promoted his temp woker card program,

this means anti-legals can't whine any more about border security and they now concentrate on real immigration issues, which means giving GC path to 12 million illegals, I am hoping piggy back ride along with them, again that is just a hope, they can show us finger any time, as we are politically, morally and naturally weaker

Anti-immigrants never run out of ideas to put off any real reform .. next thing on their list will be tamper-proof IDs, employer sanctions and self-deportation of the illegals. To any sensible person, it has always been clear that only a comprehensive approach will succeed .. but our "friends" seem to have taken advantage of the election year politics to push their own agenda.
