WASHINGTON - President Bush plans to address the nation Monday night on the immigration debate, trying to build momentum for legislation that could provide millions of illegal immigrants a chance to become American citizens.

The White House said it was seeking time from television networks for the president's remarks.

"This is crunch time," Tony Snow, the new White House press secretary said Friday at his first off-camera, or informal, briefing.

On Thursday, Senate leaders reached a deal to revive a broad immigration bill that had appeared doomed just several weeks ago.

Key to the agreement is who will be negotiating a compromise with the House, which last December passed an enforcement-only bill that would subject the estimated 11 million to 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States to felony charges as well as deportation.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., said the Senate will send 14 Republicans and 12 Democrats to negotiate with the House, with seven of the Republicans and five Democrats coming from the Judiciary Committee. The remaining seven Republicans will be chosen by Frist and remaining seven Democrats chosen by Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.

"It is your burden to prove that I am "anti-bush", because you made the accusation."

See your own Post #3 genius. If that is the first thing that comes to your mind, and you find it so brilliant you need to post it right away, don't be surprised when people call you anti-Bush.

"Move to San Diego County."

Oh, that's all I need. Pay $1 million for a double wide trailer on a tenth of an acre and watch the rest of my money get confiscated to pay for some homeless drug addict program in San Francisco. No thanks man. We panned out about 4 cents worth of pure gold today, and with a little more work we'll have the Jeep paid off by the time the kids retire.

In the meantime, I'm having enough fun dressing up as Batman and chasing my wife all over the bedroom. I don't need any loose women.

Everyone knows Batman can kick Superman's butt. And Batman has the cool chest shield with the built in abs, so I don't need to do as many situps.

"...don't be surprised when people call you anti-Bush."

If you can define yourself as "people" then you are correct, otherwise I think it is a case of someone engaging in hyperboli, at best.
