I doubt that this story is credible. Bush was in talks with Pres Fox of Mexico before 911 about amnesty for illegals, which is a chance to register and either become a US citizen or (at the discretion of Immigration), be deported.

You can't get a SS# or vote without a birth certificate showing proof of citizenship. Can't get a DL without a SS# and proof of liability insurance.

Now some folks may have false documents.

My main reaction is to say that most of these people are good, productive citizens who have to look over their shoulders all the time. They do pay sales taxes, but don't pay income taxes. The people who hire them are lawbreakers, too.

It would be great to find a solution that doesn't hurt either us or them!
