WASHINGTON - In a meeting with members of Congress, President Bush said he needs to do a better job explaining his position on immigration changes, House Majority Leader Tom Delay said Wednesday.
"He admitted he hasn't done a very good job in being clear to the American people where he's coming from, and he's going to try to do better," said Delay, who attended the White House session where the president discussed his legislative agenda.

Importation is for goods, not people!
The problem is that we accomodating people who have no interest in accomodating us, the host. They refuse to speak english and demand everything as it was "in their country". F'em all. If they don't want to learn English, send them home and let them go back to sitting in the street doing nothing all day.
What I meant by that was the people coming here. We used to have an idea of who what and where. We should not be the home to anyone and everyone who can break and enter into our country.
I trust him to believe what he says. Whether you or I agree with him....at least you KNOW where he stands.
That is a quantum leap beyond the scumbag X42 who took a poll for everything from the shade of gray he should color his hair to where he should take a vacation.
I understand your position, and it is a good and fair position. I would only say that the economic forces at work are a far different problem from basic border security.
Keeping wages artificially high by not allowing competition is a bubble that will inevitably burst, if not from this cause, then from some other. If the quality of the work is the same or higher, for the same or lesser wage... then the processes that will pop the wage bubble are already in place. Immigration, in such a situation, is a symptom not a cause.
But I'd really like to keep the topic on security.
No.
I agree. My post was to the attitude expressed by "great" Dane.
Considering the 19 9/11 hijckers had 64 drivers licenses between them, do you favor allowing illegals to have drivers licenses? YES OR NO?
"This is damage control."
With this Denver-cop-killer Mexican stand-off, I wondered how long it would take the President to say SOMETHING. He has yet to say anything, however. Just that he will say something some day.
I guess they have to figure out how they're going to "sell" this.

" And so long as the Coyotes can bribe their way through the country, the flood of Central Americans will continue also."
"They just come here to do the jobs Americans will not do"
A small dose of what the Traitors(Pro-Illegal-Alien crowd) have unleashed on our country. Remember folks if the Illegals were not allowed in this country the following would not have happened.
So lets all thank the Pro-Illegal traitors for helping to kill Children, Mothers and law enforcement officials.
Thanks for posting that poll. Someone had posted a poll which reflected that Americans were divided on providing free health care, etc., to illegals.
Even if I believe that poll, I have to believe that people in non-border states didn't take seriously the problem caused by illegals in border state hospitals.
Of course not. Immigrants? Yes. Illegals? No.
By the way.... the 9/11 hijackers were all *legal* immigrants when they came into the U.S. Some of them did overstay their visas and became illegal... but that was later.
Do you support his guest worker plan? ('rod)
HELLO !! Read the article....it says even DeLay agrees with Tom "that illegals should return home & apply for any guest worker status. (remember Dane......DeLay agrees with Tancredo)
(snip) "DeLay said immigration changes must be preceded by tougher border security and enforcement of U.S. laws.
DeLay has said people who are in the U.S. illegally should have to return to their native country before applying for a U.S. guest worker program."
