I think you are not correct here.
The truth is he is part way between the Treasoncrats and the border lobby. Some times he is closer to the border lobby, sometimes he is closer to the TC's.
The Dems want automatic citizenship, he doesn't. The Senate RINO's seem to side more with the traitors on that one. The border folks want none of it.
He has proposed border security (admittedly he was brought screaming and kicking to this) that is much closer to the border lobby than the TC's. You need to read what he actually proposed before dismissing what he said as siding with the TC's. He wants the fence, wants more guards, wants better technologies focused on how to keep them out, and until we get better he is sending the guard to do the job of the minutemen, a proposal by many of you border folks. That's what he said, check the speech out for yourself, I even pasted the security parts earlier. They are right there with the border lobby.
Where he differs from both is the "guest worker program". That one divides the baby, and you should consider what it does, after reading it now I actually think it's a decent compromise.
I think you should be thrilled with the progress. Why in the world are you deceiving yourself into believing he is with the TC's on this, when it can be clearly demonstrated he is not. It strikes me that the border crowd has simply decided it has to hate Bush, and simply won't listen to what he says, yet repeats things others say he said instead.
My gawd, the bill gives AMNESTY - something Bush said he was against.

If this is progress, I would hate to see failure.

No, I just hate what he is doing to the GOP over this issue. He is siding with Dems and RINOs to outvote conservatives. And that alone shows he is on the wrong side of this issue.
