HOUSTON (AP) — President George W. Bush told a group of Texas reporters Friday that he regretted immigration policies were not reformed while he was in office.
"I'm very disappointed that it didn't pass," he said in an interview with correspondents from his home state. "I'm very worried about the message that said, 'Republicans are anti-immigrant.'"

Be ready to raise hell.
We did it last time and we can do it again if we get riled up enough.
Right.
Bush. like his father, like Bill Clinton, and like Obama is a ONE WORLDER.
These people are traitors, not patriots. Their loyalty is to international conglomerates and the profits they can suck off the American public.
Guess his name will be dirt. He will never give them a pardon.
Good luck.
Special interest groups have taken control of the Republican Party as they control the Democrat Party.
These interest groups are so powerful and so well funded tht it is nearly impossible to counter them. Too many of the elected Republican office holders are unwilling to confront the Dems and shrink from traditional Republican views on many social and economic issues.
Its time to leave the sinking ship.
What percentage of illegals work in agriculture?
Less than 2%.
Better try another tact.
Every time I see the gang graffiti that scars my once pleasant southern California city I curse the idiot.
South Carolina. It figures. Fools who live far from the border have been part of the problem.
“He’s been enforcing the border since 2005”
And what was he doing for the first four years, bushbot, other than ignoring his duty to enforce the law? His efforts after 2005 haven’t amounted to much. He subordinated the interests of average Americans to his Mexican pals since the day he took office. A pity he wasn’t a Democrat in name, then his squad of dimwitted cheerleaders would have come from the other side.
“Let the name calling begin. Anybody notice how the immigration brigade will never discuss and only yell and name call?’
You’re right. You’re an idiot.
Party at the Bush Ranch! All you ee-legals are welcome! The buses will be arriving daily. Plenty of room, a lake, bunkhouse, cattle, wildlife and a friend in the big house. He speaks Spanish!
It’s just a short van ride from the border! Come and stay until reforms are approved!
You weren't around here for Clinton's impeachment, were you?
Had you been you would know there's a lot we can do besides just 'educate' people.
That’s my mission, although very few will listen.
If you're going to be trying to tell people what a great President Bush was, I don't think you'll find a receptive audience.
Too many know his record.
I beg to differ, its time to garner your forces, work in your precincts to gather new representation (the conservative kind), those precinct leaders vote for new (conservative again)County leadership, and on and on up the food chain.
You can't win if you don't suit up and play in the game.
Some give up or out too soon. Yes, you will lose some elections but its the grassroots that really matters much more than you know.
Each generation people decide that the 3rd Party is the way to go and other than losing elections in one of the major parties, the 3rd Party rarely garner 10% of any vote, at any time, any where.
That's the reality and I choose to be a realist. I probably would have signed on to your theory during college or even a bit beyond but finally realize that since the Bull Moose and Whigs, 3rd Parties rarely make a blip on the radar, especially in the 20th Century and beyond.
There really is NO “Republican” political philosophy or “Democrat” philosophy.
There is only a conservative political philosophy and a liberal philosophy and a combination of both called “moderate”.
The Democrat Party is exclusively a liberal party. The Republicans appear to have both liberal (= “moderate”) members and conservative members, with the rank and file being mainly conservative like us.
America, despite the Obamamessiah’s victory, is still mainly a center-right country.
So why does the Republican Party need to be the “big tent”?
WHY does the Republican Party, as Bush II just stated, NEED to include “different opinions” (presumably liberal ones)?
I’m sick and tired of the libs in the GOP trying to shut out any chance we have to get our political views represented.
I hate liberal Republicans more than Democrats. They are FAR more insidious.
You and I are in total agreement. We are a mostly center-right nation. One need only look at the massive pro-Obama vote in CA then observe them vote to affirm the "one man, one woman" concept of marriage!!!
Libs were livid at that one and now go about attacking both the Catholic church and the Mormon church, yet Obama garned the larger share of Catholic votes than McCain - don't yet know on Mormon split but they do elect Dingy Harry Reid time and again so their alliegance to the Mormon church membership seems to speak louder than moral convictions and credibility here, as Dingy is quite corrupt, so what gives there?
In our area, even many in pro-life community voted FOR Obama (including many Catholics, claiming that they didn't "think" he was "that bad" on his positions on abortion.)
It's a mystery to me how any pro-life person would choose Obama given his appalling record on sanctity of life issues.

For the record:
To: HHKrepublican_2
For all the folks that are ready to throw GWB and the Republican party by the wayside , you have to acknowledge what that would accomplish....maybe not immediately, but certainly if you set the stage for any Dem President in 2008. If these sacrifices are worth it....go ahead.
Bush’s tax cut would be revoked.
His No Child Left Behind would be gutted (except for the money to the schools) guaranteeing ignorance from public school graduates.
The Medicare plan would drop private company’s participation and be totally government run and funded, just as Gore wanted.
There would be no chance for additional conservative judges to be appointed for any level, much less the Supreme Court.
Repeal of Roe v. Wade would be impossible.
Illegal immigrants would be given amnesty and citizenship, guaranteeing Dem control of many southwestern states. No wall, no nothing!
America would turn tail and run from Iraq, making OBL very happy, and letting the rest of the Muslim world know we are the wimps OBL says we are.
Iran will get a nuclear weapon.
Israel would be abandoned in favor of Palestine.
No new refineries, no nuclear plants, no drilling for oil or gas in the continental US would be allowed.
Labor unions will be running homeland security.
We can watch while every moonbat charge of the last six years is investigated by Congress....tying up the Administration and the military testifying.
No true conservative could allow a Dem win in November

You made the wrong choice and now we have Obama with all that entails. Its far worse than I imagined, because of the economic crisis that gives the Dems a blank check to do as they please.
As far as I’m concerned, “conservatives” like yourselves were no better than DNC operatives. When GWB, the Republican Party, and this nation needed support the most, you turned your backs on them.
Please go away now, you are irrelevant.
I'm sorry; I don't support Socialists.
The Republican Party had six years of control of the Federal Government. Instead of actually following through on promises made (e.g., the Contract with America) the most visible members of the Party tried to ram through amnesty for illegals, expanded the Federal Government's reach with Medicare Part D and other Socialist programs, and did nothing to reform Social Security or the tax code.
As for those tax cuts you speak of: they were paid for using borrowed money.
And now you and the rest of the Republican shills have the balls to come and compare us to DNC operatives? Sheesh.
It is very disheartening to see someone spew what you just did hear. I realize you think of yourself as a Conservative and are trying to do the right thing from your point of view, but you have really lost your way IMO.
Bush’s enhancement of Medicare was a mistake. His amnesty plan for illegal immigrants was a mistake. His failure to use his House and Senate majority for the fist six years of his presidency was a mistake.
Those who recognize these mistakes are not the problem. Those who wince at this latest plan to sign on the U.N.’s LOST Treaty are not to be dismissed as Bush haters. They are loyal Conservatives who truly understand what Bush’s mistakes have cost us. And Bush is making it clear right now, even if you thought he was well grounded in the past, he isn’t. He is a seriously problem. He has been and is doing these things in our name, in the name of Conservatism.
There is nothing Conservative about much of what Bush has done over the last eight years. We must be honest with ourselves. Nobody else is going to be. If Conservatives cannot own up to what has taken place, then far too many members are too far gone to recognize failed policy for what it is.
Take care.
See 158.
Got it!
