"But in a speech Thursday to the League of United Latin American Citizens annual convention in San Antonio, Bush reiterated his backing for his sweeping immigration proposals.
"Our country must confront this basic fact: Jobs being generated in our growing economy are not being filled by American citizens, and these jobs represent an opportunity for workers who come from abroad, who want to put money on the table for their children," Bush said in remarks delivered by satellite to the group's annual convention. "Yet, current law says to those workers, you must live in a massive, undocumented economy," Bush said. "And so we've got people in America working hard who live in fear and who are often exploited, and this system isn't fair and it's not right."
"The reason I made this proposal is because it's humane," the president said. "It would bring millions of hardworking people out of the shadows of American life. This proposal reflects the interest and best values of America, and Congress should pass it into law."
"We will keep working to make this nation a welcoming place for Hispanic people, a land of opportunity para todos (for all) who live here in America," he said.
I would love to personally hand our President a copy of the US Constitution and tear up the UN Charter while he watched me.
This is bad. Pure leftist speech.
