Yes obviously there will be some who don't get insurance and so forth, but there'll be less illegal citizens without isurance or even a license if we gave them a way to come out.
I mean if all the illegals aren't paying taxes already, it's not like we've got much to lose, if we're already at zero, it's not like we can go below that.

Then that brings up the "Why didn't GW sign up for the military anyway" debate and I don't give a rat's ass. Both candidates suck. plain and simple.

Why is this even a campaign issue?
Bush was in the National Guard. Maybe he got in because of some pulled strings, maybe not. Either way it doesn't really matter.
Kerry was in the Navy. He volunteered. Maybe he got shot at a lot of times, maybe he got shot at a few less times. Either way it doesn't really matter.
Why both sides are devoting so much time to what really amounts to nothing more than a bunch of he-said, she-said, I have no clue.
I personally don't give a shit about some nonsense which may or may not have happened over 30 years ago. I want to know who's going to fix stuff now, in the present day, once they get elected.
