A California lawmaker is calling on President Bush to take a stand against what he calls "right-wing immigration extremists."
In the Democrats' weekly radio address, Congressman Mike Honda says Bush should denounce House Republicans who support measures that would treat people who sneak across the border as felons who should be deported.
Honda, a third-generation Japanese-American, says the U.S. can't afford to play partisan politics with immigration reform or border security.
He adds that he was disappointed by the president's latest efforts on immigration, which he dismissed as a "public relations campaign."
This Honda needs to be recalled.
But..but..I thought Bush was a conservative?
The Law Should Be Enforced=Extremist.

Honda, withe the rest of the Dems voted to leave the felon provision in the house bill. Now he comes complaining about Republican right wing cruelty!

Of course he's hoping Bush will further demoralize the base. Duh!
This has got to be the BIGGEST spin ever. The MSM has decided the same thing. I have NEWS for them this goes across all political parties except the Amercian Communist Party. This is not the right wing of the REP party.

It just boogles the mind. He votes to leave the felon provision in, then votes against the bill as a whole, then condemns partisan politics. Sir, have you no shame?
I read comments like this once in a while and wonder what Bush could possibly do that could tweak conservatives more than he already has regarding immigration. Short of extending U.S. Citizenship to all six billion humans on planet earth, I can't imagine what it would be.
Bush is likely to take his advice.
Sigh...
