Jorge (Rockefelle Repulican) Arbusto will very likely go down in history as the Jimmie Carter of the Republican Party.

Immigration reform is not all that big an issue to the overwhelming majority of the public.

Every poll I've seen shows it to be HUGE.

And the desire to secure our borders cuts across party and ideological lines.

Why is it if there's an outbreak of mad cow disease somewhere, within five minutes, we know the source, the cow's herd, family tree, and the name of the date the cow took to the prom. But when it comes to illegal aliens...

None of my Visa for RNC. They can thank Mr. Continental. Looks like only citizen action will close the border and return trespassers now. I can't believe this. Is this what they want?

Wasn't it Bush's father that came up with the term 'Weasel words'?

You're kidding right?

I think he may have gone out of his mind. This is not sane or rational.

The man has lost touch.

If only he had pursued SSI reform with such dogged determination we might have ended up with something we actually NEED.

I'm way past disgusted with a president who doesn't have the balls to enforce our immigration laws.I'll continue to support the war on terror and the conservative agenda but I disown this two bit chump and his administration.

According to the latest Field Poll in CA, 81% of the people, across party lines, consider the immigration problem to be serious.

I think the President has gone nuts. This kind of thing can only succeed in riling up the left and the right BOTH.

The leftists are out there protesting and waving signs accusing Bush of being a racist, and the conservative base is outraged because he wants to open the floodgates. The only happy people are the factory farm owners and businesses who can get cheap Mexican labor at the taxpayer's expense.

Just a few weeks ago, it looked as if President Bush was finally pulling things together again. Then he goes off on his foreign travels again, screwing Israel without even noticing it, and now is back offending the entire country, left, right, and center, over an issue that nobody wants but the fat cats who make campaign contributions.

In a speech in Tucson, Arizona, near the Mexican border, he said illegal immigration was "a serious challenge and our responsibility is clear — to protect the border.

It should've been crystal clear on 9/12/01. ....before millions more (many of them from Islamic countries) entered illegally.

Cut off their taxpayer benefits, impose hefty fines on employers who hire them, and then watch them deport themselves.

....and get enough manpower on the borders to do the job that needs to be done.

I'm starting to think our next president has already been chosen and I think the current President is paving the way for her.

That's about the pinnacle of cynicism.

....and it very well could be true.

If you hadn't noticed, polling is rapidly becoming meaningless as the American people move to cellphone service while abandoning landline phones at home.

Sure, it's "serious", but is it "important"?

How does it compare to other "serious" public issues? And did those guys use phone polling or a more reliable technique.
