"I thought the speech was one of his better ones and it proposed a rational approach, which of course the democraps will quickly derail because they don't want ANY success while Bush is president."
His sales job is not an "approach".
The "comprehensive" bill before the Senate contains over 400 amendments, the majority of which are not reforms but simply how to massively increase immigration and, in some cases, insure "enforcement" will never be too harsh (like Durbin's amendment to fire all the current immigration judges to be replaced by new positions to be staffed by the lawyers who now work as advocates for the immigrants.
Try this for a start:

and then tell us what is the most "comprhensive" part of the bill.
When you've gotten educated about what is the substance in the law behind Bush's good intentions, tell me what you think.
Well, here's what I think. First, you're an insulting agitprop who tried to raise a strawman, switching my comment of rational approach to your preferred strawman of 'comprehensive approach'. Second, you tried to misdirect readers by inviting them to equate the idiocy of the Senate approach, spouting endless 'amendments' to be debated, with what the president did say in his speech. His speech is an approach; the Senate methodology is a gordian knot, or gordian 'not' if you prefer. Now go away and play with your agitprop friends somewhere else other than FR.
