Well if you listened to Hillary’s reply she said that it was due to George Bush’s failure to pass comprehensive immigration reform in the congress. It was so easy in past years to blame every act of nature on Bush, so now they have the congress they make believe they are still running in the minority and evil George Bush is running things. The media is also claiming this, so rats have no responsibility either way.
Listening to Hillary is your first mistake. Her statement can easily be refuted. Take a look at the votes in the Senate in 2006 and 2007 and you will see that the vast majority of Dems voted for the bill joined by a minority of Reps. Bush has provided some cover to the Dems on this issue, but he would have signed the bill if it had emerged from Congress. Bush was sticking a finger in the eye of the majority of his own party. The GOP position is where the vast majority of Americans stand on the issue.
