It certainly seems though that this whole deal is something Bush is trying to push through so he can take it to Fox when he goes to Mexico. It seems very inappropriate for an American president to be offering such gifts to a foreign leader. I don't understand in the first place how Fox can demand we are to take the citizens of his country and make them legal. I don't know why Bush seems to be bowing to him in all these matters.

If you invetigate, you'll see that this was an issue that he was pushing before 9/11. It's not as though he came up with this over the weekend.

An attempt to gain the Chicano/Hispanic vote? Republicans seem to make some pretty big blunders regularly. Sort of like when they voted not to put Clinton on trial. Or how they fight to give China MFN status. It just doesn't pass the smell test. The Republican party is merely the lesser of evils, but not by very much, depending on how you look at it. Point is: we're not nearly getting what we want, and no matter what we do, the sweet liberty of yesteryear is increasingly under attack, either by the Dems natural proclivities, or now the terrorist threats.
