You might think that a trauma like 9/11 would have prompted a major rethink of its immigration policies by the Bush administration. You would think wrong. While enforcement was tightened in certain concentrated areas, elsewhere it actually relaxed. Immigration from the Middle East reached an all-time peak in 2005.

Bush would crucify the nation upon the alter of open borders.

Neither the president nor his inner circle has ever cared to hear from dissenters on this issue. A hasty and careless economic calculus, a poorly considered political gamble, and self-righteous moral grandstanding have together pushed the president to the worst domestic political and policy error of his presidency.

Not a pretty picture of El Presidente and his circle of advisors.

It seems impossible that the immigration bill can succeed: A large majority of the American people claim to be following the immigration debate closely, and that majority opposes the immigration plan by a three-to-one majority. And when the bill collapses, it will take what little remains of the president's political capital with it. Did I say capital? No, that has long since been spent. It is his credit that he is now exhausting.

It will be worse for Bush personally if the bill succeeds. For which is a worse crime, to try to sell out your country to open-borders business interests and La Raza, or to actually succeed?

Perhaps Bush wants historians of the future to consider him as one of the "Founding Fathers" of the soon to be created North American Union. He doesn't care about destroying that "old" nation state, that constitutional republic, the United States of America.
