Last night, President Bush unveiled his shopping list for immigration reform. Without once mentioning the cost or a way to finance the latest splurge, Bush asked the American people to once again open up their collective wallet and pony-up the plastic for another spending spree. However, given Bush’s predilection for deficit-spending, it won’t just be the American people, but our children and grandchildren who will be footing this bill. Some of the items on the shopping list:

• 6,000 border patrol agents
• 6,000 National Guardsmen
• border patrol missions for state and local authorities
• a temporary worker program
• "tamper-proof" work documentation employing biometric technology
• unmanned aerial vehicles
• infrared cameras
• motion sensors
• patrol roads
• barriers
