But it is abundantly clear that he favors the Senate bill, and he cares not a whit about any enforcement provisions in it, just so long as it has an "adjustment of status", i.e. amnesty.

Huh. Last time I looked, the president spoke in favor of the bill authorized in the House. Let me look. Why yes. Yes he did.

President Bush has spoken in favor of the bill authored by Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wisc.), known as the Border Protection, Antiterrorism and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005. Bush has already signed legislation appropriating more than $70 million to install new barriers and improve existing protective infrastructure along the border. This includes fencing as well as vehicle barriers and lighting to enhance border security. Source

Peach, I said above:

Yeah, we know Bush supported the House bill, and that is to his credit.

My point, which you are ignoring, is that if the Senate came up with a bill (such as McCain-Kennedy), that had no real enforcement provisions, but massive amnesty, Bush would sign it.

Do you disagree?
