On executive issues, Bush uses his executive power, and does what he thinks best. This, arguably, is a legislative issue. There has got to be debate and a consensus in the country to make the borders more airtight. And then there can be a bipartisan effort to do it.
If it is done down party lines, that will forever establish the Democrats as the party of demographic dominance, therefore dominance plain and simple. This move of a Republican president to punt on immigration arguably keeps alive the two-party system. It enables immigrants to vote Republican.
My God, it is working! I would not have believed how many people here are now posting "President Bush is a Leader" "Bush Leads".
Rush knows his audience. I stand corrected for my sarcasm and for my belief we were all thoughtful voters.
