"I look forward to signing this legislation as soon as I can," Bush said on Friday.
I would prefer that Bush spend the rest of his term on vacation than hand us "successes" like this.
“A landmark compromise”
It’s not a compromise. It’s additions to current law with amnesty and new and additional worker programs.

“Top Democratic leaders and activists see Hispanic migration as a long-term opportunity for the party. The arrival of additional immigrant workers is “bad for blue-collars,” Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, told National Journal late last year. But immigrants can help elect Democratic majorities, and “if [a Democratic Congress] were to significantly strengthen unions, then you would offset the negative effect on the income of workers,” he said. (”Immigration Economics,” National Journal, May 12, 2007)”
Evidence of Democratic separation from the people. Frank here notes there will be wage depression...then mollifies himself with some promise of some uncertain thing to help “unions”... as if that will do anything to cause the problem, increased immigration, in the first place.
Shows the Dems are just as alienated from the people as Repubicans — utterly disingenuous or self-delusional.
If they are going to give illegals amnesty, we need to invite 10 million Poles to visit. That would make the Dims do back flips.
“It also would also provide 18,000 more Border Patrol agents, and scores of radar and camera towers on the US border with Mexico”
It will NEVER happen.
The GOP has been undergoing a slow death for nearly 20 years
4 years of Bush I, followed by 8 years of Clinton I, followed by 6 years of Bush II was more that the party could survive......
The corpse of the party has recently started to smell very badly.....
It’s good that traditional lunchbox liberals are against this. Hopefully some Blue Dogs in Congress will have 2nd thoughts.
Gee, ya THINK?!
This dude certainly has a talent for understatement....
President Bush Discusses Comprehensive Immigration Bill
I Can't Believe that this is what comes first!
UFB!!
President Bush on Thursday said, "Immigration is a tough issue for a lot of Americans. The agreement reached today is one that will help enforce our borders, but equally importantly, it will treat people with respect. This is a bill where people who live here in our country will be treated without amnesty, but without animosity."

Fact Sheet: Border Security and Immigration Reform President's Statement on Bipartisan Immigration System Proposal In Focus: Immigration
This should hurt anybody who votes for it and this should help anybody who votes against it.
Apparently, unlike you policy matters to me, not party.
The fed has jumped the shark.
WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!
It won’t kill the GOP, but it will be an opportunity for us to purge out of the party those who pretend to be republicans.
Question:
What if the criminal aliens, crooks, terrorists and narco-gangsters don’t want amnesty? Why should they? Wouldn’t they have to pay taxes? How can you force criminals to become citizens? Why would you? If these people really wanted to be real citizens they wouldn’t use phony ID’s.
NO AMNESTY for Employers or Employees!
It's already dead.
