Bush and his advisers are caught between their supporters in the business sector, who believe the economy needs those workers, and conservatives whose priority is to clamp down on illegal immigration.

Nice try at covering for him, but that excuse doesn't fly. If the economy needs immigrant workers, then they can come here legally. There is never, ever an excuse for rewarding lawbreakers. The only people who'd be in favor of this are the ones who want to erase the border altogether.

Unfortunately there are people on both sides of the aisle who want to do that. Someone on Free Republic said yesterday that between the illegal immigration nightmare, the Able Danger, and the Fair Tax, it will ultimately come down to a battle between the patriots and politicians. I'm afraid he was right.
