I agree. Assuage the angry base with pretty words.
I don't see the base buying it this time. If Bush wants to help the GOP, there needs to be fence a wall construction on a large scale. The ICE raids are a Dog and Pony show that does not fool anyone. If Bush was to be believed on that score they need to be arresting executives at Tyson Foods and "Frog Marching" them to the dock. I don't see Bush doing anything like that. There is time to build a lot of fence.
