I hate to say it, but Kerry would never risk his neck for a bill like this-this is a ‘gift’ from Bush. However, we will never get principled leaders if we are not willing to vote third party. The GOP is now just as lousy as the Democratic Party.
The point is that we knew Bush would do this when we voted for him; he didn’t hide on any of these issues like a lot of politicians do. I really doubt that Weird Al and Ketchup Boy would have given us tax cuts and the subsequent economic recovery or any decent judges or even a halfway decent response to Islamo-terror. But the Europeons would have liked us better. So immigration turns out to be a good issue to fight the president on
