"This has nothing to do with the President it has to do with putting the Rats on the defensive so they will quit playing obstructionist and let some of these good amendments pass that will mitigate the inevitable guest worker (amnesty) program. Example, making it illegal for convicted criminal illegal aliens to be a part of the program."

Like hell it doesn't. You can try to play politics with this if you want but when you boil this issue down it's all about the president. You didn't hear Americans clamoring for a guest worker program--it was the president under the order of Vicente Fox. Now you hear Americans screaming about their communities being invaded while being told to shut up take it because it's inevitable. Don't be foolish this has everything to do with the president.

I'm reading the first 2 lines of the thread and I don't see the word "President". The threat to use his bill against him is symbolic, nothing more, nothing less.

Be nice on the Bushbots. They spent all their political capital defending Bush II on the quickie Dubai deal. They're spent and their arguments trying to fathom a position that Bush is not against their interests is very difficult this time.

This "problem" has been around since the 70's......long before either President Bush came on the scene. No, I'm not happy with GWB's lack of apparent "understanding" on the issue....but let's be factual, eh?
