I can't make a fair response to a 68 page document I haven't read yet, but I will say that Bush's failure to tighten our borders is one of the main problems many conservatives have with him. The catch, of course, is that Democrats would be even worse at it.

If we really nailed the borders shut, it's the liberals that would squall the loudest. Second-loudest would be the businesses that like the cheap labor.

It's a myth that such cheap labor is essential to our economy. There are many states with very few illegal residents, and oddly enough, all their work still gets done. It just costs a bit more.
