President Bush yesterday told Hispanics to step into the middle of the immigration debate and make sure senators who have been bombarded with calls from opponents also hear from those who support the bill.
"There's a lot of emotion on this issue, and it makes sense to have people from around the country come and sit down with members of Congress to talk rationally about the issue," he told those attending the Hispanic Prayer Breakfast in Washington yesterday.
He was speaking a day after the bill, which collapsed last week, was revived by the top Democrat and Republican in the Senate.
Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, agreed to put the bill back on the Senate's schedule next week, and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, agreed to limit the number of amendments Republicans would offer.

Yes. You did. Look at your post #77.
Thank you for your service and for standing up as an American.
¿de donde eres?

And considering hispanics are the largest minority in America I think they should be heard as well.
Good grief... you are so far up Bush's posterior, he can taste the Brylcreem.
Please. You don't expect me to to go back and find your old posts do you? If somebody missed your raggedy little post just restate it.
I'm Hispanic too and I agree with you on what you say in your post. Also, I am against this Amnesty bill in the Senate. Are you for it or against it?
Fixed it.
They were people who loved and appreciate freedom more than most native born Americans. And I loved them for this.
Okay, well you made me post it again. Don't take it out on me that you insulted most Americans with your bias. And please don't call me stupid again. Oooch, ouch that hurt.
That’s the difference and they never looked for a handout. Told them our family will be there when they get their citizenship! That is what America is all about and that has not changed from the days of Ellis Island.
What the majority of us don’t want are people that come into the country illegally. Looks at the gang problems we have in the large cities. What is the President doing about that? Does he want them to call as well?
You are disgusting and should be ashamed of yourself.
” Please. You don’t expect me to to go back and find your old posts do you? If somebody missed your raggedy little post just restate it. “
I have my answer. I know what you are and why you’re here.
We should start calling the Senators and complaining about Americans and asking the Senators to do something about them.
I think there are maybe a dozen posters on that thread.
They must hate now being in the minority here.
LOL. Funny, huh? (in a sad kind of way)
and their women are much less attractive and yes that matters...
WOW....I kept asking myself....
Self...WHY is he doing this?
Cacique.....thanks for the answer.
“They must hate now being in the minority here.”
Must be the post-spring cleaning syndrome.
