WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration and key congressional Democrats and Republicans stepped up their efforts to sell a broad immigration compromise Thursday as lawmakers braced for a public backlash at home.
"Many Americans are rightly skeptical about immigration reform," President Bush said in a Rose Garden news conference. "This bill provides the best chance to reform our immigration system and help us make certain we know who's in our country and where they are."

Man that is brilliant too. Get them back to reality and see what it takes to have a real job while taking care of family issues and things. No more bennies!!! The suicide rate would increase! lol.
Anything short of execution is Amnesty!
Pray for W and Our Troops
“This bill does not grant amnesty. Amnesty is forgiveness without a penalty,” Bush said.
Nothing to see here folks, let’s move along.
I haven’t heard anything from (or attributed to) Cheney about this bill. I somehow doubt he’s too pleased with it, though, but that’s just my intuition.
"Read my lips; no new taxes"
"This is not an amnesty bill"
W is just following presidential traditions.
Doesn’t this guy have some snake oil to peddle somewhere else? We need a professional here.
Yeah. But how would you ever get these criminals - I mean politicians - to vote for their own demise? The time for term limits has arrived - they blew it & now we need to correct the system.
I know, I know - someone out there is going to say - “but we already DO have term limits - it’s called voting!
That hasn’t worked so well for us, has it? Once a congressman gets in there - they have all kinds of advantages at their disposal to STAY there.
Cheers!
Read my lips, NO NEW TAXES.
1992 redux.
That sound you hear is the National Democrats popping champaign corks.
You are so right. I keep hearing how people are going to take out Senator Graham in the next election and I practically laugh out of my seat because I don’t think they realize how difficult it is to do unless you want a Democrat in there.
It doesn’t grant amnesty, but immediately allows lawbreakers to stay in the country.
I agree with this and the admin should understand that nothing will work until the borders are secure. However, tax amnesty is a deal breaker too.
Oh I know. I just can’t believe two Republican Presidents in the history of the U.S. are bringing this up. In 1986 it was President Reagan and now President Bush....Makes you wonder about those eight year terms...if we had one six year term both President Reagan and Bush would not be able to do this. Makes ya go hum...
The American people have found they can no longer trust either the President or any of their congress critters.
I have thirty silver coins that I will donate.
Perfect.
“What is wrong with our presidents.”
They only pay attention to us when they run for office.
“One doesnt know the meaning of is.
Another cant see a pig in a poke to save his reputation.”
Teddy Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenberg, Ronald Reagan and perhaps Harry Truman were the only great Presidents in the 20th Century up to the present. They had their faults - no one is perfect. But their hearts and minds were in the right place - which is NOT what you can say for the rest of of them, including the current incumbent.
