#1 The ILLEGAL ALIENS (not 'undocumented immigrants') are coming in anticipation of Amnesty being granted by Bush and Co.

In the meantime LEGAL imigrants (you know... the law abiding ones who made this country great....) are patently waiting their turn while Bush PISSES ALL OVER THEM (again) by granting what amounts to amnesty to ILLEGAL aliens (you know... the lawbreakers who's mere presence here is in violation of federal law...).

#2 "...but the report cautioned that it is difficult to say whether the recent upswing is part of a new trend."

What constitutes an authentic trend?

Perhaps:

Immigration and Nationality Act [INA]- 1965
Congress eliminated the "national origins" quota system and established a âFamily Reunificationâ policy.
"Our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually; under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same."
Chief Senate Sponsor: U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy, D-Mass.

Since 1970, more than 30 million legal and illegal immigrants have settled in the U.S., representing more than one-third of all people ever to come to America's shores.

Immigration Reform and Control Act [IRCA]- 1986
Congress increased appropriations for enforcement and amnesty provisions.
âCongress will pass or kill any immigration bill for one of these four reasons; emotion, fear, compassion or racism "
Chief Senate Sponsor: U.S. Senator Alan Simpson, R-Wyoming
Approximately 2.7 million illegal aliens were granted legal status. The immigration service estimated that, during just the 1990s, 1.5 million illegal aliens received green cards, outside of the IRCA amnesty.

Bush Guest Worker Proposal- 2004
Allow illegal aliens currently living in the United States to apply for a work permit for up to three years.
âI propose a new temporary worker program that will match willing foreign workers with willing American employers, when no Americans can be found to fill the jobs.â
GW Bush, President

A 13.1 percent increase in apprehensions of illegal aliens was reported in the first month after the Presidents announcement. Figures show increases in apprehensions continue to rise.
Now illegal immigration outnumbers legal immigrantion.

Is the US willing to wait to see if these figures represent an authentic trend?

#3 Problem is that the Dems view the illegals as future Democratic voters (or in some states CURRENT Democratic voters). And the GOP is too busy with their fingers in their ears yelling "LA LA LA LA LA WHAT PROBLEM??".
