Nothing that you wrote changes the fact that this bill was a creation of the Senate.
Again, the President is on board this ship, but the ship is the USS Senate, not the USS Bush, okay?
Lookit, I don't want to denigrate your defense of GWB-----that's quite commendable.
However, you must realize that when a bill the president has publicly supported is in the process of being written, the prez or his staff communicate with Senators, is briefed on the provisions, and can goad Senators into inserting certain provisions.
The amnesty bill was huge---over 300 pages. To suggest that GWB was not involved in the bill is nonsense.
