WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush met Tuesday at the White House with a bipartisan group of senators to discuss ways to overhaul immigration, a chat that earned the president kudos from two men normally among his staunchest critics.
The discussion came as an immigration bill sits stalled in the Senate and as Majority Leader Bill Frist prepares to bring the issue back to the Senate floor by Memorial Day.
After the meeting, the senators said Bush expressed support for a package that would create a guest-worker program and would determine ways to address the status of more than 11 million illegal immigrants in the country.

Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy called the meeting a "bipartisan coming-together" and said, "We still have a ways to go, but I certainly appreciate the president's involvement and his willingness to be engaged."

"Moderate" "Republicans" are actually getting praises from "moderate" democRats.
THE UNION IS SAVED!
Bend over everyone, all you "extremist" "fringers" out there, and get ready to take another one "for the team".
"Take a hard look at what is happening America -- a REAL HARD look."
I have. Its heads we loose, tails they win.
Only a third party can save the day but both existing parties have an unconstitutional stranglehold on local and national elections and press coverage.
If the rules of today existed in the mid-19th Century, we would have the Democrats and Whigs to choose from - which might not be so bad after all.
It's time to face facts. This guy just doesn't get it!
It appears that voting repubican in 2006 is another job Americans will not do.
A Peaceful Revolution ...
Yes, and it will happen this coming November.
>Do they really think these illegal immigrants are going to vote Republican?<
I prefer calling them "invaders", and no, they don't. But they DO know the greedy, law breaking bosses who hire the invaders WILL vote Republican. :o(
U.S. territory is now "common ground" for all immigrants, legal and illegal...
Seeking common ground? Who are they kidding here, they've had it all along. It's always been amnesty for them and something they've agreed on from the beginning.
BOHICA!
Bush's bill in 2006 is far better than the 2009 bill to come from Dem Congress and Dem President.
>Even the United States Senate is taking money AWAY from the Iraq War to fight this problem. I think that clearly shows it is a BIG DEAL!
Do you think that the televised demonstrations had anything to do with this?
I am sure it played a role. The demonstrations, especially some of the signs and flags they were carrying, helped to open the eyes of many Americans. I think the demonstrations had the opposite effect than what the illegal immigrants were hoping for.
Better yet, give all these political whores Mexican citizenship.......it seems a lot more important to them than does American citizenship.......they are willing to give that away at the drop of a hat.
I guess so from reid's perspective. Bush is giving away the farm.

The only reason that Reid said the meeting was good is that Bush is selling us out and the Libs see **VOTES**, which they will get. Bush is a traitor, to the people of this country, and to his own party, members of which HE excluded from the meeting because they were rightfully against giving amnesty and destroying our soverignty.
Time to call for a Peaceful Revolution.
O.K. I'm with you!
They also discussed the withdrawl of troops from Iraq.
Pretty much the entire democratic party is for instant citizenship. The dems will FORCE bush to go along with him, if Bush is to avoid Impeachment in the next 3 years. Therefore the Dems have a de facto majority in both houses right now.
It is moderate Republicans allying with the likes of Diane Fienstine, Tammy Baldwin, Dennis Kusinich, and Howard Dean. It makes me sick.
