Open borders with Mexico are the one and only 'vision thing' any Bush has truly believed in.

Its really weird.

Did you read that interview that a newspaper did with V. Fox years back? He talked about a phone conversation that he had with Bush in the days following 9/11. Fox said that at that point he had essentially given up hope regarding a big new immigration (amnesty) accord but that Bush personally assured him that it that it was still a big part of his agenda.

Fox admitted that he was very surprised with Bush's words. That's really got to tell you something. At a point where even Fox realizes that he can no longer push the U.S. for legalizing illegals Jorge instructs him not to worry and to keep the faith.

Unreal.

I hadn't heard that, but it begs the question - why is Bush so dead set on dissolving the southern border? There are other ways to please big business that aren't nearly as politically societally devastating.

The rap on GHWB was that he was an 'out of touch' blueblood, but W makes dad look like a man of the people.
