Didn't you see the press conf right after Ridge's statement on illegals, wherein Bush said explicitly that he was NOT for AMNESTY?

I saw it, and you took the bait. That's not actually what the President said.
He said he's not for "blanket Amnesty." "Blanket" is the operative weasel word.
"Undocumented immigrant" and the possibly-soon-to-be-redefined "guest worker" are more weasel phrases. Read the article on which this thread is based:
The sources said the administration also wants to provide a way for some undocumented workers in the United States to move toward legal status.

"Some" is another weasel word. It only means "less than all."

He went on to describe a worker matched with employer program, much like we've discussed in the past.

Read the McCain legislation (S 1461), also mentioned in this article. It's a program by which employers of Illegals may sponsor them for legalization.
President Bush is dissembling, Bob.
