President Bush announced a new immigration program on Monday, and was immediately accused of playing politics. The president, his opponents said, isn't more concerned about immigration reform than he used to be. He's just weaker politically. And there's no quicker way to win back the affection of the disaffected Right than to snarl about illegal aliens. For once, the spin is right: Bush isn't serious about immigration;

Does Tucker have a crush on BIll O'Reilly?
The problem seems to be that the Dems have also been weakened by their MEDIA games...Rathergate, Plamegate.
Tucker is right sometimes.....but hey, Michelle Malkin takes almost the same position....and she is a staunch conservative.......
Tucker is dead on, (even a blind hog will root up an acorn once in a while)
Unfortunately also, I cannot support the President on any call for "immigration reform" when what he is really calling for is amnesty for all illegals. President Bush is completely MIA when it comes to enforcing our borders.
Well, he DOES have a bow tie.
Bush said nothing will work unless we have amnesty. This means he refuses to uphold the Constitution, and protect us from invasion. Bush should step down. Maybe Cheney has a brain.
I thought the same thing: too little too late. Bush is lukewarm again. And it has everything to do with politics and money. Bush blew an opportunity (again) to regain the support of his base.
If US companies could only outsource more jobs, they wouldn't come.
/we win, we lose
For once, Carlson has it right: Lot's of talk from the Pres., no serious action on securing the borders and enforcing our existing laws will be demanded by the WH.
Brilliant idea! If there's no jobs and money for anyone, who would want to come to the U.S.?
Or live here?
OBL is late arriving to this thread.
> I thought the same thing: too little too late. Bush is lukewarm again.
Agreed-- it's sad. I say we keep screaming at W and the RINOs until they start making some sense! We got Miers traded in for Alito-- Lord willin' we can turn this one too. The Minutemen have really framed the debate here and shamed the country-club 'Pubs into shifting their tone. Now to keep up the pressure!
Yes, I am using blackmail. Not one red cent for the Republican coffers until they honestly move to protect our borders. I have called the White House and the Congressional Republican leaders, and they know what I'll come out to vote for and fund. And what I WON'T.
Only as proof that Tom Oliphant isn't sterile.
Until we actuall start enforcing the law, I see this all as empty talk. Bush is lukewarm, but I am not down on him as most people are here. This is the first time he has attempted to address the issue. Consider this like the "Harriet Miers" of proposals.
ouch! lol
You are a liar...Bush has clearly stated that he opposes amnesty many times.
