LOL...you DO have a point.
The reason I asked is...Bush has always campaigned on having a guest worker program...and after 9/11...he still didn't change his mind.
Those that voted for him in 2004 knew that...and STILL voted for him...so in a way, we have no right to gripe that he isn't doing..what he never said he would do.
But, you know what? It is Congress we need to be getting after here...because I can pretty will bet you that they will do little or nothing this year...because neither party is going to want to lose the Hispanic vote.
The good news is....IF Congress comes up with some kind of strict immigration policy, we can be pretty sure Bush won't veto...because on other threads..with people mad at Bush for not vetoing any spending bills..they will tell you he won't!!! LOL

But they didn't assume he'd morph the "guest worker" program into a virtual AMNESTY program. NOR, did they expect him to ignore the ongoing illegal invasion.
The President was disingenuous in his parsing of words and the entire matter of illegal aliens, the security of our borders, the Harriet Miers matter -- as well as the Dubai Port dealings.,p>He has lost the trust of conservatives -- and dare I say it -- Republicans.
And anyway, WHO were we supposed to vote for? Kerry??

I'm sorry. NO "strict" immigration policy is forthcoming.
IMO, we've been sold out already. The fix is in. It'll be "amnesty" after six years for ALL who've broken the immigration law.
By 2012 there WILL be a viable Third Party. The GOP has failed us.
