Maybe you misread my post. Bush was a fraud and nearly made American citizenship pointless. During Bush years tens of millions entered illegally, during war time.
The second time Bush ran I recall Bush supporters telling people not to bring up the borders, amnesty or illegals until AFTER the election as there would be plenty of time to address that once he was elected.
Here is Dallas Texas 2006 during professional politician Bush's Republican presidency.
500,000 illegals march on Dallas Texas waving foreign flags while making threats and demands. All during war time.
Outside of Obama, Bush was one of the worst presidents in history.
I didn’t misread it, but just wanted to add that an amnesty discussion did come up in the domestic policy debate with Kerry. But it never became a major issue in 2004. I guess W’s lie during that debate worked.
I remember that march by illegals and in Chicago, and smaller ones elsewhere. After some bad publicity, they were able to eliminate most Mexican flags from later marches and began waving US flags to show their patriotism.
