Don't be surprised to see Gonzales resign in a few days; the Senate will then announce no further investigation, and Rove will get off. It doesn't pass the smell test, but then, like cehweidel's grandfather, if you spend much time walking behind mules you are going to be stepping in a lot of mule-headed legislation. IMMIGRATION/IRAQ DEAL

Amnesty for 12 million and billions for Iraq; it looks like the deal has been made. Don’t be surprised to see Gonzales resign in a few days; the Senate will then announce no further investigation, and Rove will get off. It doesn’t pass the smell test, but then, like cehweidel’s grandfather, if you spend much time walking behind mules you are going to be stepping in a lot of mule-headed legislation.

Each time they work in amnesty and gravy parts for the illegal aliens. They are always quick to hand out the amnesty and gravy parts but they never do get around to the enforcement parts of the laws. Do we really need a shiny new set of laws when we have never given the old comprehensive laws a test drive? http://www.vdare.com/rubenstein/051101_nd.htm Notices of intent to fine employers: 1997: 865 1999: 417 2000: 178 2001: 100 2003: 162 2004: 3 Worksite arrests of illegal alien workers: 1997: 17,554 1999: 2,849 2000: 953 2001: 735 2003: 445 2004: 159 The thing that scares me about any sort of immigration law reform is that every few years they re-invent the same laws.
