I guess I didn't pay enough attention to this problem.I kid you not, we were having nearly this same discussion on FR the morning of 9/11/2001.
George Bush was ramping up from his alliance with Vincente Fox to give us exactly the same thing we're seeing today.
And the only thing that restrained George Bush last year, was the Republican candidates telling him they'd lose elections he if kept it up with the 2006 Comprehensive Shamnesty.
But he'd already done the damage.

I remember around that time period that an amnesty bill was about to be passed. The 9-11-01 attacks put it on hold. It reared its ugly head again in 2002. It was about to pass, but Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WVA) stopped it on a procedural technicality. It didn't rear its head again until 2006.
The Bush Admin has been pushing this since 2001. Now, it seems to be the final major legislation that GW could hang his legacy on. His 2005 attempt at Social Security reform quickly bit the dust. He doesn't have much else on tap for the fall. IIRC, the NAU/SPP is heading for Congress this fall. That could cause another avalanche of faxes and phone calls to Capitol Hill. Next year, the politicos will be too busy with primaries, conventions and the general election.
