Remember the hue and cry that went up when Bush announced that he would sigh the reauthorization of the assault weapons ban?

Well, he knew that a bill wouldn't even get to his desk because during the election of 2000 gun control was the political third rail for Democrats.

So Bush took an issue away from the Democrats.

The same thing is happening with the immigration proposal.

Bush took something along to give to Fox on that trip to Mexico and earned some brownie points with Mexican-American voters.

So don't get your undies in a bunch until there's a bill on the table, which probably will be… no time soon.

Will you eat your words if he gets the FTAA treaty through?

I agree. From one of my recent posts:

******************

My Fourth Prediction for 2004:

Bush and Fox are working out a deal involving Mexican ("it's all about") oil and a creative solution to our immigration/poverty problem -- that has as a juicy bonus a "tar baby" trap that will cause the the Dumbokrats to tumble into "de ole briar patch" as represented by a permanent loss of the heretofore robotic support of what is now America's largest minority constituent group.

Prediction Five:

I haven't quite figured out when the resultant Afro-Hispanic War will begin, but begin it will and will be a sight to behold.

Prediction Seven:

The Saudis and their Arabic fellow travellers (therefore) soon will attempt to be very chummy with that old infidel Uncle Sam, who will have the resources to protect from al Qaeda and Associates only the oil fields of Iraq and Kuwait, our soon-to-be sister nations that will serve as the base of operations for the "stabilization" of the Middle East.

Prediction Eight:

The US will through the Saudis to the al Qaeda wolves. Said wolves will exterminate the "worldly, secular infidels" that make up the Saudi royal family, put that nation in the firm grip of Islamofascism, trash their oil fields in a show of bravado, and will never be allowed to redevelop them (they will be drained from under the sands via natural connections between oil deposits.

Prediction Nine:

Having killed the "goose that laid the golden egg," al Qaeda and other terrorist groups will (a) see their funding and geopolitical support dry up and blow away amid the desert winds.

Prediction Ten:

Al Qaeda and their fellow travelers (Hamas, PLA, etc.) will be hunted down and killed like the dogs that they are -- by the US and its new allies in the Middle East and in what will be a European continent that already is seeing and feeling the beginnings of their strangulation by rabid subsets within the "Religion of Peace."

And the world will be a better place for many decades to come -- all because of the genius of a Republican US administration run by "naive and ignorant cowboys who care only about oil and other manifestations of Big Business"..... 102 posted on 01/15/2004 9:49:07 AM PST by tracer

So you see, dear readers, the Bush "imigration reform" plan is merely the keystone card in what history will show to have been a most brilliant house of cards that will tumble in a controlled manner and will put an end to some of the most dangerous and perplexing problems our Nation continues to face at this point in time...

I was one of those who said that CFR was a farce that would ultimately and easily be shot down by the Supreme Court, quickly and with a disgusted smirk. Even had I known about O'Connor's rapid mental deterioration I would not have been concerned because I figured that even the liberal scumbag contingent of the Supreme Court would laugh CFR (or at least most of it) right out of court.

Boy, was I ever wrong.

And so, I no longer take any of this stuff for granted. Anything can happen, and when it is something that threatens to undercut traditional America and its families, it usually does.
