Shadows Obscure Illegal Aliens’ Hopes

In speaking about illegal aliens, President Bush says the time has come to bring \”millions of hard-working men and women out of the shadows.\”

However, Republican leaders in Congress claim that Bush\’s proposals would reward lawbreakers. They soon plan to pass legislation tightening the legal and physical screws on illegal immigrants. The idea is to make the bill veto-proof by tying it to emergency funding for U.S. troops in Iraq.

For me, the issue is of more than passing interest. It was to California, long an immigration battleground, that I came to the United States in 1941 as the only child of illegal aliens.
