You know what kills me? Everyone on this thread is acting like Bush’s pro-illegal stance is a big surprise.
Hey, y’all ... he was pro-Hispanic to the point of being tacitly pro-illegal as Texas governor, and NONE of his presidential campaign rhetoric had any other slant.

That’s exactly right. He was saying “Family values don’t stop at the Rio Grande” when he was campaigning. But people may not have known what to make of that slogan or they may not have even heard it. I had Texan relatives who told me how Bush had behaved as Governor, so I knew what he was up to.
