I recall the very same stunt when I was in Miami last August ('03).
A butt-load of Cubans swamped a 194X GMC on pontoons and headed for Miami.
Bush ordered them deported. The Miami Cuban community threatened to jerk all 2004 presidential support out from under Bush's tushie.
Anybody recall how that threat wound up working out for the illegal migrants?
BTW: If anybody has pics from last August's Cuban migrants blackmailing the president in Miami, please post them. (I'm talking about the green GMC/Chevy flotilla.)
Apparently, Bush's amnesty program has made it's way past the Castro filter machine.
It worked out fine for Bush, I don't know about the illegals. He has the Republican party faithfuls ignoring the fact that the borders will continue to be wide open; that the American taxpayer is over burdened by their crime, health care, and schooling. Those who worry so about Iraq care nothing that we Americans are facing the loss of our country to a nation of Mexicians, who will over power our voting system in five years, or sooner.
No, I'd say Bush has done very well for himself in that respect.
