I would use different words on this. Did he "discourage" the audience booing the immigration plan? Not so much as spun it around which was "we need to let our leaders know that whether it is amnesty or drivers' license the people of America have very strong views and we want you to realize you are going against them" (paraphrase)
It was the argument many have made here in the past few months... help the PResident (and now Arnold) save themselves from pushing bad proposals.
Is that discouraging 'booing' or is that saying "let's rechannel the emotion and energy into making sure that these proposals don't go forward" - I guess it's tomato - tomAto... depending on how you look at it.
I recall his holding up his hands as to say "easy, easy" and then followed up with how he would work with President Bush and Presidente Fox for sensible solutions to the immigration issues, not the current plans as proposed by those leaders.

Fair enough ;-)
