I finally was able to reach someone I know at my senator's office.. he told me that BUSH INTENDS TO PUT THE IMMIGRATION FIASCO THROUGH AS AN EXECUTIVE ORDER!!!
Zipporah, I'll take your word that the aid said this, but I'm skeptical that he or she knew what they were talking about. I'll believe it when I see it.
However, if the President actually did EO an Amnesty, the resultant firestorm would be impossible to calculate. I think it would exceed Clinton's "gays in the military" blunder, costing a couple of million votes in November, and possibly the election.
I would be stunned to see him take that gamble.

I would agree that it is incredible. The thought never passed my mind actually. IF the senator in question was just a junior senator I would've just passed it off but considering the status of the senator, it seemed very credible. I do question how that could be possible as immigration issues (I believe)must be passed though Congress if I am not mistaken. But as I said, considering who the senator is, I took the statement very serioulsy.
