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.
"What about illegal immigration? There is no doubt that the issue of illegal immigration concerns Americans greatly; much more than it seems to concern the political class. Bush had no choice but to address the issue last night, but there was nothing new. Bush said "We hear claims that immigrants are somehow bad for the economy." Really? Who said that? I haven't heard those claims. I've heard people complain that illegal immigration was bad, not to mention dangerous; but I haven't heard people just saying that immigration is bad. So, here we have George Bush trying to paint our concerns over illegal aliens as a general opposition to immigration. To be fair, the President did say that we need stronger immigration enforcement and border protection .. but he tied that to a guest worker program that rejects amnesty. What's that again? A "guest worker program that rejects amnesty?" Does this mean that everyone who is here now illegally will be rounded up and sent back? No, it doesn't. It means they'll be legitimized. They'll be rewarded for their illegal actions. They'll be absolved of any criminal wrongdoing and allowed to stay. That's not amnesty? The reality is that Bush is pushing a guest worker program that includes, not rejects amnesty. "
