He may not have changed his position, but he sure as hell has changed what he lets be known about his position. He said that he was not in favor of amnesty and was in favor of enforcing the laws and controlling the border. He is not.

Bush could not now be elected to office here in Texas because of his views on immigration and his perceived betrayal in falsely representing his views.

There have been improvements in border security, and there have been arrests of illegals, a change in prison policy and in deportation.

It is inaccurate to say that he is not in favor of enforcing the laws.

Whether or not he is doing enough is the question. I don't think he is.

I oppose amnesty, placing undocumented workers on the automatic path to citizenship. Granting amnesty encourages violation of our laws and perpetuates illegal immigration."
-President George W. Bush

"This plan is not amnesty," the president said of his plan to match workers with jobs. "I oppose amnesty because it encourages violation of our laws."
-President Bush 1/12/04

In his book (1999), GWB wrote, "the most compassionate way to deal with illegals is to stop them at the border."
