You are over looking a couple of good things. Bush is moving on this issue. We need to keep up the pressure to haul him even further Right. He doesn't want to go there, but we need to drag him kicking and screaming back over to our side of the fence if we can.

Yes, his Amnesty program is BS. Yes, his language last night still leave too much capitulation to the invaders possible.

But he's talking a bit tougher than he was a month ago. He is at least getting some extra, although weak tea that it is, help for the Border Patrol.

I'm a lot more hopeful today that we are gaining traction on this issue. I didn't think we were, and it could be smoke and mirrors, but we need to keep up the pressure and not let them settle for half measures and worthless compromises.

We can pressure him D C, but he is a lost cause, and has his own agenda(whatever the heck it is). I am now convinced that Bush has a messianic complex vis a vis poor mexican peasants(reminds me of Howard Beale in the movie "Network". Still pushing amnesty....jobs americans won't do....blah blah. Keep the pressure up, but don't throw caution to the wind.
