Bush too soft on immigration

GOP presidential candidate Steve Forbes is rightfully scoring points against frontrunner George W. Bush on the illegal immigration issue.

The Texas governor, who helped sue the federal government for not doing its share to keep out or to care for undocumented aliens once they arrived in the Lone Star State, told The San Francisco Chronicle that the federal government should stop reimbursing the states for the costs of illegal aliens.

Bush critics -- and even some of his friends -- jumped all over this strange contradiction. Think about it. What would a President Bush do if Governor Bush ultimately wins the lawsuit?

In any event, the governor retreated from his statement
but it took five days -- and was less than convincing.

And here we are January 25,2004! Have people forgotten or did they not know?!

Have people forgotten or did they not know?!

I didn't know, but it doesn't surprise me. I'm sure Mr. Bush hopes that this little known fact will be forgotten!
