It's Personal: Bush rode in a patrol vehicle on the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona last week

[Constantine XI Palaeologus]

Course, there's a difference between those who come here legally and those who don't, but don't tell that to the MSM.

But the president's willingness to help illegal immigrants on the path to citizenship sets him apart from many vocal conservatives in the GOP.

Yes, illegals deserve our help. Lets set up flight schools and train them to pilot Boeing 757s....

[MJY1288]

This should be an uplifting thread :-)

Bush has a WARPED view of this situation with NO SENSE OF REALITY.

Does he KNOW that 25% of criminals in prison are ILLEGAL ALIENS from MEXICO?

Have people on the border been imagining the crime and threats they routinely receive?

Is it not true the hospitals shut down and public school costs are horrendous subsidizing ILLEGAL ALIEN children>

Does the label ILLEGAL matter to Bush? Does it matter to Bush the HELL people got through to stay here LEGALLY and follow the RULES to become LEGAL CITIZENS?

The president has talked about a guest worker program for years now.
Being hispanic myself, I can say that we really try to stay close to family. I would think that more hispanics would vote republican since we tend to be conservative in our views.

Ya know, I can find a lot of uplifting stories just from regular Americans. A friend of mine was abandoned by his mother when he was eight. He struggled, he told me stories of living in a abandoned trailer with no electricity and precious little food in the winter in South Dakota. He did what he had to do to survive, he managed to stay in school, he got trained as a welder, then a college degree, after he got his college degree they found out he had dyslexia. He said he wasn't going to let anything stand in his way and he didn't and doesn't.

He had life as hard as any illegal, and maybe harder than most. Why doesn't Bush talk about Americans who start with nothing and make something of themselves, this land is full of those stories.

Bush had his own housekeeper as an example. Emigrating from a small village in Mexico with her daughter sometime in the mid-'80s, Galvan worked as a domestic for several families in Austin, Texas, before getting a job at the Governor's Mansion just as Bush moved in with his family in 1995, when the twins were 12 years old. (The White House last week refused to comment on Galvan, except to say that she is a U.S. citizen; White House aides were silent on how she entered the country and what her legal status was at the time.)

[Desron13]

"In an interview with Hispanic Magazine in 2004, he described Paula Rendón, "who came up from Mexico to work in our house" when Bush was a boy growing up in Midland, Texas. "She loved me."

I'm glad to see that hiring illegal aliens has worked out so well for the Bush family. /s What is this sentimental sob story anyway? STOP IT! JUST STOP IT! Thats not what we hired you for! Close the borders and end the giveaways to people breaking our laws by the battalion!

[Razz Barry]

I wonder how many illegal invaders the Bush family has employed.

[peyton randolph]

He appreciates how close Latino families are with each other

---

There are exceptions. In particular, villages in Mexico without men because they've left their families to illegally work in the U.S. And let's not forget the overcrowded prisons filled with illegals. Close family relationships don't exist when you're doing time for felonies.

[Luke21]

Oh man, now MSNBC is singing the praises of a man they usually hate. Amazing how the tone changes when you carry the left's water.

[devane617]

So, exactly how many illegals has the President employeed? Anyone asking the hard questions?

[TXBlair]

Bush's own brother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, married a Latino,

I never took Spanish, so I could be way off base, but shouldn't it say Yeb! married a Latina? Three people authored this article; surely between the three of them at least ONE knew that Yeb! married a woman.

Then again, it's the media so probably not...
