If you really think he was speaking about legal ones then it is definitely pointless.
He was.


... We hear claims that immigrants are somehow bad for the economy -- even though this economy could not function without them. (Applause.) All these are forms of economic retreat, and they lead in the same direction -- toward a stagnant and second-rate economy.

Tonight I will set out a better path: an agenda for a nation that competes with confidence; an agenda that will raise standards of living and generate new jobs. Americans should not fear our economic future, because we intend to shape it.

Because that's not what President Bush is implying. You're too focused on one single word, despite the fact I quoted two paragraphs from the speech itself.

And if you do a word search of the speech, the word "immigrant" appears once, and I posted the precise context in which the word appears. The subject was jobs and the economy.

It had NOTHING to do with illegal immigration, despite the fact that's what you're trying to do.

This is where you are being dishonest with the people on this thread, and disengenious with yourself.
