Bush wants a law that would give temporary guest worker permits to foreigners in low-paying jobs while strengthening border security. He was to push his idea in a speech Monday in Irvine, Calif., a state that has seen massive protests in recent weeks calling for immigrant rights.

Wrong place, wrong message. Bush continues to sink the GOP by pushing for an issue that the majority of Americans have constantly said they oppose. Instead of changing his staff to appease the media, Bush needs to get a clue.

President Bush was in the country's most immigrant-rich state...

So, we're not overrun with illegal aliens, we are simply immigrant-rich? What a lovely way to put it.

Bush wants a law that would give temporary guest worker permits to foreigners in low-paying jobs...

What about the foreigners who are working in the not so low-paying jobs? Can we deport them?

If your boat is sinking, the first thing you do is plug the leak. After all the new, intrusive water has been stopped it is time to start dealing with the mess inside the boat. When the border is sealed tight, then, and only then will I be able to believe anything any politician has to say about illegal immigration.

Going for that illegal democrat vote.

This is a sinker for the GOP, the economy (housing slowdown, gas prices, debt levels) are this fall's issue and pandering for someone's cheap labor is about as opposite of where they wanna be come Nov.

[Plutarch]

In a gesture to conservative critics of the measure...

Wow, we get a gesture, while Dems get their voters and employers get their cheap labor. Everybody wins!

Is Bush trying to commit political suicide?

Has he lost ALL semblance of reality?

Does he READ and WATCH the news?

Has he a clue on what his base is upset over?

I hate to ask this but ... is it his wealth that shields him from reality ?

The President, like his dad's buddy BJ Clinton, seems hung up on accomadating the Mexicans to the detriment of the legal citizens of our country. He is turning the leadership of the country over to Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, the phony Irishman John Kerry, Fat teddie kennedy, Hillary, the corrupt labor unions, homos and all of those other losers that make up what is known as "Dimocrats". God help us.

immigrant-rich state

More like a cesspool state. No wonder he is going there, he wants to learn how to turn the rest of America into a whorehouse of illegal immigrants so California won't have all the fun - nine hospitals closed in Southern California added to the 84 over all. Schools a hellhole - teachers are unable to teach this "diverse" bunch of criminals. Apartments bulging with hundreds of thousands of illegals. American citizens paying the bills - while Bush gets the praise from Mexico that finally the borders states will go to their control under his presidency.

Bush has lost his mind.

Bush touts a policy proposal that the majority of Americans support -- and some people think this is a bad thing? Not me. I support the President's proposal.

Amnesty!

Go bye Republicans.

Do you think that after we conservatives sit at home come election time, the RINOs will get the message?

[trubluolyguy]

Repubs, remember that Bush is not running again, most of you are. Pass an amnesty guest worker POS bill that makes it to the oval office. Enjoy your new minority status.

Senor Bush wants a law that would give temporary guest worker permits to foreigners in low-paying jobs while strengthening border security. He was to push his idea in a speech Monday in Irvine, Calif....Sen. Arlen Specter....said Sunday he believes Congress will be able to work out differences and pass a bill. Specter, R-Pa., has pledged to have legislation ready for debate soon after lawmakers return.

More GWBS, it'll be a guest-voter (amnesty) plan first and meaningful border security/illegal immingration/visa enforcement never.

A wall first, then we'll talk.
