Bush urges Hispanics to push immigration bill Despite its revival in the Senate, legislation's fate is uncertain.

WASHINGTON — President Bush urged Hispanics to lobby hard for a major immigration bill Friday, a day after it was revived in the Senate.

"Each day our nation fails to act, the problem only grows worse," Bush said at the annual National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast. "I will continue to work closely with members of both parties to get past our differences and pass a bill I can sign this year."

Bush's comments came after Senate leaders announced a deal Thursday that would allow the legislation to come back to the Senate floor as early as next week.

But the fate of the measure is uncertain.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Friday that he "insisted on a process to prevent endless debate and get the bill through the Senate."

He said he hoped Republicans would not "stall" the legislation.

What in the Hell is wrong with Bush. Why is he trying to annoy his base? The guy must be back on the bottle. There is no other explanation.

That’s right,anybody come on down. Enemy and all.And where are the trillions of dollars going to come from to pay for this bill. And some guests on Fox said it will not be a real fence because in some parts you can’t do it,and they can always climb over it. After all the drug smugglers have been finding a way over different parts of the fence for years.Charles K. said the wall should be like what Israel has.

Unlike the anti-immigration extremists, the President realizes that our only hope is to win over Hispanic voters.

I don't know why I'm bothering answering this comment...but hey. Apparently you've not seen the pictures of the marches put on by the illegals, have you?

[red irish]

Are you saying anyone who is against this bill is a racist? Name calling is immature and childish.

[Brad’s Gramma]

To the Mod who banned this person, B. Chezwick, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The only aspect in this whole immigration debate that is of a "racial nature" (to quote post #27) is the overtly racist attitude of the illegals, who openly style themselves as The Race.*

*La Raza, in Spanish.

That is because it is all they have. Of course it works on many who are spineless appeasers but name calling is always what is used when facts are not available.

Yep, be a nice legacy for all Politicians for illegal immigrants, when they
see dead Americans and find terrorist with their ‘guest worker’ Id.

Bush urges Hispanics to push immigration bill

Sounds like a tacit admission that "comprehensive immigration reform"
is an ethnic-based piece of legislation.

As in it's really been written for Hispanics...not to benefit
immigrants from other places like Northern Europe (Irish,
Poland, Baltic States, etc) or from Asian countries.

I'll be as charitable as Orin Hatch was with his zinger to
Justice Ginsberg after it was revealed that she'd never hired
an African-American...
no, I don't think Dubya is bigoted.

they might laugh at us, but when the houses of most of the legislatures are republican then I would hope that the senate would reflect that.

The Senate was supposed to be a stop to mob rule of the House of Rep. It represented the states in the legislative directives.

“Each day our nation fails to act, the problem only grows worse,” Bush said at the annual National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast. I agree. Let’s not fail to act anymore. Impeach Bush immediately.

Each day I fail to act, the problem only grows worse.

Fixed it.
