It is neither wise nor realistic to round up millions of people, many with deep roots in the United States, and send them across the border. There is a rational middle ground between granting an automatic path to citizenship for every illegal immigrant, and a program of mass deportation. That middle ground recognises that there are differences between an illegal immigrant who crossed the border recently - and someone who has worked here for many years, and has a home, a family, and an otherwise clean record.\"\u003cbr/\u003eArizona, United States-Mexico border, date unknown\u003cbr/\u003e11.

Close-up of immigrants feet walking along after being caught as they crossed the border illegally\u003cbr/\u003e16. Immigrant sat on ground wearing handcuffs \u003cbr/\u003eUS President George W. Bush said on Monday night he will send as many as 6,000 National Guard troops to the US border with Mexico to help stop the flood of illegal immigrants.\u003cbr/\u003eThis is part of an administration drive to win conservative support in Congress for an election-year overhaul of the nation's tattered immigration laws.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We do not yet have full control of the border, and I am determined to change that,\" the president said in a televised address from the Oval Office.\u003cbr/\u003eBush trod carefully between dealing strongly with illegal immigrants while advocating an open policy towards immigrants willing to do jobs in the United States that many Americans eschew.\u003cbr/\u003eSpeaking of the American \"melting pot\" and the importance of immigration to the development of the United States, he counselled keeping out people trying to come in illegally and gave strong support to a plan that would give many of the 12 million illegal immigrants already in the United States an eventual chance of citizenship. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Guard troops would mostly serve two-week stints before rotating out of the assignment, so keeping the force level at 6,000 over the course of a year could require up to 156,000 troops. \u003cbr/\u003eStill, Bush insisted that the US won't be militarising the southern border. \u003cbr/\u003eMany congressional Republicans said they support Bush's plan to use National Guard troops at the border, but he ran into criticism from Democrats and some Republicans.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Democrats are willing to support any reasonable plan that will secure our borders, including deploying National Guard troops,\" said Richard Durbin, Democratic Senator for Illinois. \u003cbr/\u003e\"But Americans don't want a plan that's been cobbled together to win political favour. This cannot turn into another long-term military deployment with no clear plan,\" he continued. \u003cbr/\u003eThe president timed his speech hours after the Senate began an intense debate on an election-year immigration bill.\u003cbr/\u003eThe rare televised Oval Office address signified the high stakes for Bush, who has been asking for immigration overhaul since the 2000 presidential campaign.\u003cbr/\u003eBush said the National Guard troops would fill in temporarily while the nation's Border Patrol, a civilian force, is expanded. \u003cbr/\u003eHe asked Congress to add 6,000 more Border Patrol agents by the end of his presidency and to add 6,700 more beds to detain illegal immigrants as they await hearings to determine that they can be sent home.\u003cbr/\u003eBush said the nation has more than doubled the size of the Border Patrol during his presidency and has sent home about six million people entering the United States illegally.\u003cbr/\u003eStill, he said, that has not been enough.\u003cbr/\u003eHe called for enactment of a guest worker programme to allow immigrants to take low-paying jobs, and he said employers must be held to account for hiring illegal immigrants. \u003cbr/\u003eHe said a tamper-proof identification card for workers would eradicate excuses for employers for violating the law.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd he stressed that those who want to earn citizenship should have to assimilate into society, learn English, pay fines for breaking the law and pay back taxes.\u003cbr/\u003eThe president's demand for tougher border security is part of a broader plan to overhaul a system that he has described as inhumane, with desperate foreigners risking their lives for a chance to earn US wages. \u003cbr/\u003eThe issue raises emotions on all sides, with many Americans and influential conservatives in Congress complaining that foreigners are taking jobs and draining resources across the country.\u003cbr/\u003eThe White House hopes that the tougher security will be enough to get House conservatives to support the work permits and citizenship proposals to which they have been opposed. \u003cbr/\u003eA bill that passed the House last year ignored those ideas and instead would increase criminal penalties for illegal immigrants and construct 700 miles (1126 kilometres) of fencing.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
