“... Of course, Bush wasn’t on ballot in 06 so voters took out their frustration on the Repulican congress.”
I can’t argue that what you have said is true. However, Congress had before it legislation on things like Bush’s energy policy that was a very strong recommendation for change...they failed on key points of that plan, especially ANWAR. The GOP Congress certainly helped with cutting it’s own throat on the immigration issue as well..and apparently the secure the borders first message did not sink in with far too many GOP Senators and House members. Bush, true to form, is sticking to his guns on immigration. Given that he’s not worried about re-election, and congress is...we need to checkmate the illegal immigration amnesty crap in Congress.

Now your making some sense to me. This bill ammended a few times will pass the Senate,of that I am 85% certain. But Congress is a different matter and one where we can sit down IN PERSON with our Congressmen/Women, demonstrate and make sure this thing doesn’t pass. I won’t argue about Bush anymore. This one act kills everything else he did in my book, destroying the Republican party for his friends across the border. If he passed more free trade with Mexico which would have increased the economy without burden and the social impacts of the immigrants, I would have been more then fine. That my friend was what he pitched in 2000, NOT 20 million Mexicans becoming legal overnight and how he went about it like a sneaky little bitch instead of the leader of the free world.
