From the AP:
After a four-year decline, illegal immigration from Mexico is spiking as several thousand migrants a day rush across the border in hopes of getting work visas under a program President Bush (news - web sites) proposed. Many also are trying to beat tighter security to come in June.
The U.S. border patrol told The Associated Press that detentions - which it uses to judge illegal migration rates - jumped 25 percent to 535,000 in the six months ending March 31 compared to a year ago.
Repeat after me: "Amnesties - or even the talk of amnesties - do not encourage illegal immigration. Karl Rove's plan was a brilliant political ploy! Everything is going to turn out A-OK!" Pass the Kool-Aid, George.
