No, Bush's first use of his newly gotten political capital is this amnesty sellout of America.

Try to deal in reality.

Bush didn't even MENTION this in his press conference.

The only reason it's being discussed is because there was a scheduled meeting in Mexico.

Try reading and comprehending this:

"Powell cautioned Tuesday that it was unclear how the new Congress, which takes office in January, would deal with the issue. At a joint news conference with Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Ernesto Derbez, he promised that the Bush administration would meet with congressional leaders to assess "the pace at which we can proceed with a temporary-worker program and how fast and how far we can move in what period of time." "We don't want to over-promise," Powell said."

This is from today's Washington Times.

Bush revives bid to legalize illegal aliens

The president met privately in the Oval Office with Sen. John McCain to discuss jump-starting a stalled White House initiative that would grant legal status to millions of immigrants who broke the law to enter the United States.

The Arizona Republican is one of the Senate's most outspoken supporters of expanding guest-worker programs and has introduced his own bill to offer a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants.

"We are formulating plans for the legislative agenda for next year," said White House political strategist Karl Rove. "And immigration will be on that agenda."

He added: "The president had a meeting this morning to discuss with a significant member of the Senate the prospect of immigration reform. And he's going to make it an important item."
