The Presidency is the bully pulpit: Did Bush ask for more or less immigration? Bush has laid down his guidelines: Pretty much an open border policy, guzzied up with fanciful language.

No he did'nt. he left all the details to the lawmakers.

He did indicate that he was in favor of upping the numbers of slots across the board and then tied it to jobs that Americans won't fill of some sort of verified basis.

The involvement of IRS enforcement is a critical part of any legislation that would be effective.

The businesses that hire illegals are the real culprits here. That is why the opposition is so determined to stop this. That is where the money is.

President Bush did indicate that he was in favor of upping the numbers of slots across the board and then tied it to jobs that Americans won't fill. What kind of jobs might they be? They wouldn't be underpaying jobs would they.

Notice there is no connection between jobs we won't FILL, AND PAY!

And since when is it that we are supposed to FILL jobs? Sounds like the President is saying it is our obligation to FILL some big business quote out there somewhere. Again no mention of pay, .....
..just all you'll fill dem dang slots in dat dar chaingang or you'll ain't gonna hav no jobs at all cause I'll a givem ta dem dar mexeecans.

So...No Borders - No Votes

Its President Bush who is doing everything in his power to elect a Democrat. I can't wait to see what next week's salvo against the right will be.
Oh I know, he will introduce Bilingual Spanglish as the official language.

My attention is distracted, there's hockey in play now.

From your earlier post, I need more info to understand your point of view: So please as referenced in the post:

Define 'interview' [what interview, what purpose?]

Define 'information on the employer' [??]

Define 'applicant' [all applicants, foreign applicants, what will they report?]

You say you watched the Congressional proceedings, so what do you foresee as to what may be the favored policy positon? By which faction? Which specific plan do you favor? And why?
