It appears that you are advocating that we conservatives accept this statement as fact, accept Bush's open borders policy, and lay down and enjoy our screwing because it's all OUR (conservatives) fault for not agreeing with his beloved destructive immigration policy.
You state you have to now defend the President from "conservatives".
This defense is no virtue.

The majority of Americans just rejected strong border enforcement and sending illegals home asap.
Just ask JD. He couldn't win on that platform in Arizona.
The rhetoric over the border is now over. The Dems call the shots from now on. GWB's border plan will become the conservative one.
