WASHINGTON - Sprinkling his speech with Spanish, President Bush wooed Hispanic voters Wednesday by renewing his support for an amnesty bill for illegal immigrants.

"We've got a spirit of amistad," Bush told 200 Hispanic business leaders at the White House, using the Spanish word for friendship.

Question, what is a PBT?

Dunno.

The Bush family is obsessed with oil, though I'd hate to think he'd sell his own country and people out for it. I think he just has both a fondness for Mexico and is a Libertarian at heart. He has said repeatedly that if a business needs an employer, we should accommodate them, a free labor market philosophy that extends to the world. The WSJ couldn't have written it better.

But it does make you wonder sometimes if these are the folks running America:

U.S. senators urge Bush not to forget about Mexico
The News Staff - 3/7/2002

Several top U.S. lawmakers have urged President George W. Bush to pay greater attention to Mexico despite the ongoing war in the Middle East, government news agency Notimex reported Wednesday.

In a letter sent to Bush in Feb. 22, senators from both parties asked him to use ongoing immigration and security talks as examples of the administration's commitment to Latin America.

Once the cornerstone of Bush's foreign policy agenda, the region has taken a backseat lately amid anti-terror efforts around the world.

Bush is to meet with President Vicente Fox Mar. 22 during the UN international Conference on Financing for Development in Monterrey.

While recognizing the Sept. 11 terror attacks had vastly shifted U.S. foreign policy, the senators said the trip "presents a unique opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to strengthen Mexico-U.S. ties."

"Mexico continues to be our valuable friend and neighbor and, though faced with the overwhelming need to fight and defeat terrorism, we shouldn't lose site of our economic and social relationship with Mexico."

The senators also praised Fox's stewardship of the nation during his 16 months in office.

The authors of the letter were New Mexico Senators Pete Domenici (Rep.) and Jeff Bingaman (Dem.). The letter was signed by 20 other senators, including Democrats Ted Kennedy and Joe Lieberman, and Republicans Trent Lott and Jesse Helms.

I have been ready for a couple of years to get this thing moving and get some momentum behind it. There is no other answer than a peaceful but pointed demonstration in D.C. Our representatives don't read our emails, pay any attention to our phone calls, so let's just drop in and remind them who we are.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

And so it goes. Do you think Mexico is blackmailing us over something? We survived and prospered for 200 years without this nation, now all of a sudden we can't live without them. Something is going to have to give on this eventually, I just hope it doesn't turn nasty.

If only they were that good looking...

Campaign contributions for the Republicans and votes for the Democrats.

Check into Eisenhower's Operation Wetback.

This side of Bush still ticks me off.

It is this side of Bush that will cause me to vote against him in 2004.

[Brownie74]

Do you think Mexico is blackmailing us over something?

As I have said a couple of times before. I honestly believe that there are some strong currents running here that we don't see or understand.

I am not ready for a tinfoil hat yet, but I am not far from it.

[Arleigh]

If we need to start marching on Washington D.C. and the White House to get our message across, then that's what we will have to do. Can you imagine President Bush's reaction if he looks out the windows of the White House and sees millions of angry Americans with protest signs and chanting for his removal from office.

Healey22 and I tried to organize a protest when Vincente Fox was in DC last summer. We were joined by slightly less than millions.

Our heritage, customs, rule of law, values, way of life, system of governance...everything are going to be blown to smithereens if this monstrosity passes.

I totally agree - but what can we do about it? I am open to suggestions.

But, he may have lost more re-election votes from conservative Republicans than he can hope to get from grateful mexicans.

You can guarantee he has! White voters outnumber Hispanic voters more than 6-1. So, if you alienate whites at the same rate you win over Hispanics, you're losing 6 votes for every one you gain.

The American people are not going to let the United States go down the commode.

I seriously doubt that most will even notice.
