"He also said they had to GET TO THE BACK OF THE LINE from those who are legal immigrants, learn English, etc. -- but I guess you missed those parts"
I missed the part that explains how that is to be enforced!
They dont go to the back of the line...they are already here...
Dont you get that?
I guess he could have read an entire proposed piece of legislation on the air, although he'd barely be past the preamble now.
He laid out what he wanted. It's up to Congress to deliver what they think he will sign.
Somehow many folks here want ALL the details spelled out in a 16 minute speech.
Those details have to go through the sausage-maker called the US Congress. I doubt the President cares what the enforcement procedures are so long as it accomplishes the goals he set out tonight.
If you set unrealistic expectations for a short speech, then it's easy to criticize. But it makes the criticism pure rhetoric and not useful.

Very good point!
I wait with anticipation as just how enforcement will be accomplished.
Sounds like Bush is indulging in subterfuge here, but maybe I missed something.
