President Bush's immigration initiative has angered conservative Republicans so much that some are refusing to donate to his re-election campaign, according to a Bush fund-raiser in Georgia.
Phil Kent, a member of the host committee for a Bush fund-raiser in Atlanta yesterday, said he was told by several would-be donors that they would not attend the $2,000-per-person event because of the president's announcement last week on immigration reform.

That's an interesting attitude.
America is in the midst of fighting the war on terrorism. This is the wrong time to propose amnesty for illegals and to allow our borders to remain so porous. This new policy agenda would set back our national security efforts and is counterproductive to the integrity of our society. It's not in the best interests or the well being of the American people.
If some conservatives are holding back monetary support for Bush-Cheney 2004, I can understand why.
I'm not just holding back money. I'm staying home in November. There's going to be more than one Republican on the ballot...Bush isn't the center of the universe.
America should send their money to Tom Tancredo , the true American who is standing up to the 10 million illegal alien invasion of our country .
Tom Tancredo for President 2004
"This program will offer legal status, as temporary workers, to the millions of undocumented men and women now employed in the United States...
Undocumented men and women, aka. illegal aliens. That is the same as granting a pardon and in effect the same as amnesty. I call it backdoor amnesty myself and frankly, its deadwrong. It would appear that PresBush learned nothing from the bad policy decision enacted by Public Law: 99-603, the "Immigration, Naturalization and Control Act of 1986". We don't need to make the same mistake again.
The key point is that he does not have to take this back. There is very little support for the plan on the Hill and much opposition. We will know how much the President is behind the plan by the effort he puts out to pass it.
Personally, I doubt he really goes after this one Hill Cool to Bush Immigration Plan

"President Bush's proposal to give temporary legal status to millions of undocumented immigrants is running into stiff resistance from both left and right on Capitol Hill and stands little chance of enactment this year, according to supporters and opponents.
While this assessment is based on early responses, with the lobbying effort barely begun, some lawmakers say the measure's only chance of passage this year would require an all-out push by the president, and even that might not be enough. Many liberal Democrats say the plan does not go far enough in helping immigrants attain U.S. citizenship. And many conservative Republicans, especially in the House, say it goes too far in rewarding foreigners who broke the law to enter the country..."
Allowing them to stay here, work here legally isn't "legal status"....I won't even go into the SS benefits bestowed on them for using FALSE (illegal) SS numbers...maybe even yours....You try that, see if you don't land your ass in jail for it...unless of course YOU happen to be illegal too.
