You have to realize that Bush is the first President since perhaps Eisenhower to undertake immigration reform. Nobody said it was going to be easy, and I understand that Bush's plan has holes. But Bush is at least trying to correct a situation that he had no control over and that has been festering since the 1960s.

Remember, Bush's team was assembled late thanks to Gore trying to hijack the election so he really couldn't focus on anything except passing his tax cuts.

That won't wash. He has had four years to assess the situation, realize the threat to national security, and start big-time deportations. 9/11 should have helped drive this imperative home for him.

Bush's sop to the cheap-labor crowd and the Hispanistas should be recognized for what it is, and strenuously opposed by every American.

Reagan is felt by many to be the father of the current mess because of his attempt at "reform" in the 1980's. It was the only decision he publicly lamented after leaving office?

Suggest you better understand the subject at hand before you launch into discussions with the adults on this forum.

You realize that Eisenhower focused on deportation, no amnesty, right?
