Agents told to be silent on details of border plan

The Bush administration's proposal to offer amnesty to illegal immigrant workers has prompted federal officials to instruct border patrol agents not to disclose information that might reflect poorly on the idea, a government document shows.

Meanwhile, U.S. border patrol agents have been told to ask a series of questions when they capture illegal immigrants, including whether the immigrants have heard of President George W. Bush's proposal.

2. I would speculate that most people are aware that there is a proposal

to give them the opportunity to register their fingerprints with the regime, and become a crusader or an indentured servant of some kind, in return for not having to worry about the migra for 3 years, at which point there is no guarantee that one will not be deported, and on re-entry face risks that one does not face on re-entry today.

the idea will be of limited appeal to people who have been working in the US without papers, or prints on file, for 5, ten or twenty years, as well as those who are doing so in order to support dependents whose interests would not be served by having the family breadwinner designated a disposable crusade asset.

3. And

You can bet they'll be registered for the draft @ the same time:
cheaplabor/voting pool for the Benevolent White Father/conscript 'foreign legion" for the Imperial Expansion.

4. yes, just as the worker is better off as he is now, so is the company

who would have to do more paperwork, pay more money per worker than they currently do, even if the plan, as you can bet it would be, is weighted heavily in the company's favor, there would still be additional costs involved, the workman's comp costs alone would, for a company who employed a large number of workers, constitute a substantial cut into profits.

While there might be some individuals currently in Mexico and Central America who are desperate and naive enough to sign onto such a death-ship, thus affording the regime a few extra disposable assets, I am not sure that the scheme was ever intended to be put into place at all.

Its value is not in its actual implementation and the relatively small benefit to the military, but as a political tool: cognitive dissonance as public policy, and as such, it will probably be very effective.
