The speach was excellent and he only muffed one sentence . . .

The speech laid out an amnesty plan which is not a solution but a blueprint for even worse immigration problems in the future. 6000 National Guard soldiers on the border in a non-militarized role is a joke.

The idea that 12 million or whatever the real number of illegal immigrants, I suspect a higher number, can not be deported is ludicrous. It can be done and should be done. Painting a picture of the need to deport 12 million in a day is what makes the problem look impossible. Deport them by the thousands per day coupled with total employment prevention in the USA by prohibitive fines and jail for repeated offenders and you will see reverse immigration occurring in a relatively short period of time.

Bush's proposed solution isn't anything close to a solution. What it is an attempt to get a bounce in the polls which the MSM will help him achieve, within limits of 5% or less, because the Bush solution is exactly what the liberal MSM have been advocating, AMNESTY.
