So why is he supporting comprehensive immigration reform [read amnesty] against the overwhelming majority of his own party. Bush is splitting the GOP, not uniting it.

For every Republican he drives off, he's creating three new ones with amnesty changing the laws so they aren't illegal aliens.

If you were an illegal alien, and you just heard about President Bush speaking about changing the laws so that you were no longer a criminal, wouldn't you vote for him?

No, because he is not running for office again. The Dems have already gotten credit for whatever amnesty is achieved, It will be a Dem congress that passes it and La Raza and the labor unions have been very vocal in their support of it. It was Kennedy, Moran, and Hillary that were speaking before the big illegal demonstrations last year. The Reps supported the enforcement first bill in the House and the Dems voted 39-4 for the Senate amnesty bill last year while the Reps voted 32*23 AGAINST it.

You are wrong if you believe that pandering to the illegals will help the Reps. Politics aside, it is just plain wrong to reward people who break our laws.

No.

And here's why:

The guy who translates the news into spanish for me will assure me that it comes to pass courtesy of the pressure the democrats put on Bush and the racist republicans to change their minds. I will be told that the only reason for the good news is because Nancy Pelosi and Teddy Kennedy forced Bush's hand. And I will believe it. Si se puede.
