Secretary of State Colin Powell told the Mexican government that "President Bush will place a high priority in his second term on granting legal status to millions of migrants who live illegally in the United States."

With Arizona's passing their initiative, Prop 200, and Colorado now gearing up, it's time for the media and politicians' silence to end on the subject of illegal immigration and its disastrous effects on America. Americans have gone from "frustrated" to "angry" on this issue.

We don't want "amnesty" or "guest-worker plans" or "earned legalization" or "paths to citizenship." We want any changes to current laws addressed publicly, not engineered in the dark of night by politicians such as Powell and Ridge hoping they won't be held accountable.

The illegal immigration advocates don't want public debate. Big businesses don't want it, and neither do other illegal alien advocates. But "we the people" do. Everything out in the open. And we want politicians to listen to "we the people."

Let's be clear; this administration's past refusal to listen is what sent us from "frustrated" to "angry." What Mr. Powell neglected to say is that the U.S. Congress faces reelection every two and six years! His promise of this legislation will not pass! Americans are ANGRY!
