from your article:
“Mr. Bush has in the past indicated he is opposed to fencing, and White House officials were kept busy on Thursday trying to explain the change in his position. Tony Snow, the new White House press secretary, told reporters on Air Force One that the White House supported a Senate amendment, passed on Wednesday, that would build 370 miles of fence in areas most often used by smugglers and illegal workers.”
The Senate passed that fence bill because of the firestorm that Bush’s constant amnesty pushing had generated. Bush was forced into respecting the law by Republicans who didn’t want their voters to sit out the next election. No one who had been fighting to get our immigration laws enforced was fooled by Dubya’s phony change of heart.
Put it any way you want...He was forced, he’s a phony, etc.
But President George W. Bush signed the Secure Fence Act of 2006 didn’t he.
