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.

If I weren't crying...
I am gonna have to agree here. Any self respecting Freeper who stands up for Bush at this time during a moment where it is clear as day to seal the fu-king borders and get control of immigration first,then they need to log off the computer and join a new version of the heaven's gate cult.
Bush has REALLY let me down this 2nd term. Iraq is a mess,our borders are a mess,insurance costs are through the roof,and we are letting the UN drag us around by the balls.
Bush had balls enough to take down Saddam and The Taliban.
Where did that man go that we all knew and loved so much?
“What we've got here is failure to communicate.”
If President Bush really wanted to communicate clearly he would say: “I have allowed and abetted illegal entry in the U.S. because my business supporters profit handsomely from cheap labor.”
Well, he can’t say that can he? So he has to invent other reasons which his lack of verbal gifts does not elevate above the risible.
"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."
==========================
Translation for the politically ignorant:
"We know 2006 and 2008 will be here before we know it. We also know that we have almost ruined the Republican Party by completely ignoring and refusing to lift a single finger about the illegal alien invasion ruining this nation. Someday we may even ackowledge this problem openly among other Republicans. Now we are beginning to sweat small drops of blood and realize we could even lose our jobs over this and . ."
Not 100%, but certainly not in Bush's favor:
"Excuse me, I'm feeling quite ill."
YOUR POST SAYS IT ALL. You just hit the nail on the head.
But it's possible that this recent admission and promise to "try to do better" is a good sign. ....we'll just have to wait and see.
If President Bush is not going to do what I think he should do than we as American Citizens lose. Citizenship means nothing when illegals have the same rights that native born Americans have. Hold on to your wallet.
Same? Try MORE.
He went to Mexico.
FYI
UNDERSTAND THE MEXICAN BANK TRUST: FIDEICOMISO
Payment of the purchase price is not enough. In order to have a valid ownership interest in the property which you are buying, it is necessary to have a valid ownership interest in the property. The title must be recorded. This puts the rest of the world on notice that the property is yours. If you are a foreign person purchasing property in many parts of Mexico, the property will not transfer to your name, but to a Mexican bank as trustee for your interests. The Mexican constitution prohibits direct ownership of real property by foreigners in the "prohibited zone," a strip of land 30 miles wide along its sea coasts and 60 miles wide along its borders with the United States and Guatemala/Belize, as well as the entire Baja peninsula. This is the reason for the bank trust, the "fideicomiso," which has been established under the guidelines of the Mexican government so that foreigners may be protected in the property acquisitions.

The truth is Bush could fix the problem with no new laws and almost no additional spending.
It is against the law to employ or harbor an illegal alien. It is against the law to conspire to break a federal law. The RICO law allows the government to not only arrest the owners, board of directors and the executives of an organization that consistently breaks federal law, but to confiscate their personal assets as well. Enforce the law.
Had the feds confiscated the assets of Tyson, Inc., and WalMart, as well as the personal assets of their Boards and their top executives, no company would be hiring the criminals today. Making examples of a couple of companies would eliminate the attraction of jobs.
It is also illegal for criminal aliens to get any welfare, food stamps, etc. The only handouts they are allowed to get are emergency medical care and schooling. Cut off every other hand out.
The medical care and schooling can be curtailed by requiring schools and medical facilities to report it every time they give service to a criminal alien. Neither the law, nor the Supreme Court ruling, that mandated free schooling for the criminals’ kids forbids that. (Lower courts have said it does, but Supremes have never ruled that way.)
Eliminate the jobs and you eliminate about half the problem. Eliminate the handouts and you eliminate the rest of the problem. Do these things, and the flood wouldn’t be the criminals coming into the country, it would be them stampeding back to where they belong.
All this requires is that the administration enforce the laws already on the books.
Exactly. That is why a guest worker program is a sham.
Seal the borders. Yesterday!
I've made it to post #105 in this thread and so far yours is the best. I want to cry when I look around my city (Whittier, CA...Richard Nixon's hometown). This place used to be a great middle-class American community, and now it is steadily deteriorating into a ****hole like thousands of others in SoCal. Graffiti and blight everywhere and illegals (those "willing workers") hanging out at all major intersections and businesses. Every business in our Uptown had theirs windows etched recently - AGAIN - and the merchants are just giving up and letting it stand. They can't afford the expense of replacing them repeatedly. Most of the decent merchants are running up the white flag there and bailing. The extent that illegals have taken over the schools here is unreal, not to mention the traffic congestion, strain on our emergency rooms (don't get sick in Whittier), and increase in social services.
As far as the President's "clarification" on his stance, if he can't - or won't - walk the walk, I'd prefer he didn't talk the talk. It's tiresome.
"White House spokesman Taylor Gross said.....no updates to Bush's immigration principles."
NO UPDATES.
HR 1587
Are we to expect that instead of "guest worker program" he has ginned up some other euphemism for amnesty?
You are 100% correct.
