WASHINGTON - President Bush's immigration plan to legalize as many as 12 million unlawful immigrants while fortifying the border collapsed in the Senate on Thursday, crushing both parties' hopes of addressing the volatile issue before the 2008 elections.

Teddy Kennedy writes the bill, the democrats and a handfull of GOP "moderates" push for it, and the AP says BUSH tried to legalize 12 million "unlawful" immigrants.

Oh no...the main stream media has no bias, no agenda...the truth be damned...they have a party and a president to destroy.

It is Bush’s Bill. He owns it.

Yes, it was “Bush’s bill” but the media is being more than a little disingenuous by not disclosing that it was Kennedy’s bill and a bunch of others’ bill, as you point out.

You’re absolutely right. They should have called it the “Bush-Kennedy bill”.

They all have equal irresponsibility for this piece of merda.

And they all have equal blame. NO one who was for this bill will ever get my vote or my money. Ever.

“AP says BUSH tried to legalize 12 million “unlawful” immigrants.”

He DID.

And he deserves ANY criticism he gets!

I keep thinking it was the same guy who said "read my hips." It's not, of course.

It WAS Bush’s bill. He deserves the tarring he’ll get from this. It WASN’T a GOP bill though. The Party (not the leadership, which is damnable, but the Party members themselves) killed this monstrosity, with lots of help from citizens.

makes you wonder why the AP is working so hard...can’t believe it is possible to drive his approval rating any lower than it already is.

It is a democrat bill.

If it was Bush’s bill...it would have passed with the moderates. The man never wrote on phrase of it.
