President Bush yesterday said Americans will soon realize they need the immigrants and foreign temporary workers that would have been allowed by his immigration bill, which was defeated in the Senate last month.
Mr. Bush, in a town hall session in Nashville, Tenn., also refused to say whether he will pardon two U.S. Border Patrol agents convicted of shooting a fleeing drug-smuggling suspect, saying the prosecutor was a friend of his who made his case to the jury that convicted the agents.
If Mr. Bush was hoping the immigration issue would disappear after his bill's failure, those hopes were dashed, as he was asked repeatedly about border security during the forum — meant to highlight his commitment to cutting the deficit.
"The bill failed and I can't make a prediction to you at this point, sir, where it's going to head," the president told one questioner. "I can make you a prediction, though, that pretty shortly people are going to be knocking on people's doors saying, man, we're running out of workers."
Mr. Bush said there are workers who will do jobs Americans aren't doing in the agriculture sector in particular, and without them the jobs will go unfilled.

Just as big an OBL numbnut as ever though.
The appalling part is George Bush could care less about the illegality of it all. About narcotics and Mexicans flooding across our border. Bush has laid it out for all to see. He has always been, will always be for open borders. He will do it surreptitiously like a thief in the night via non-enforcement. Or will do it legally via amnesty.
I’m disgusted beyond words by his arrogance
So let’s see, we have these new things called machines, 70% of agricultual workers are white and yet it’s all illegal migrant workers from Mexico? You’re a complete fool.
They, their children, their friends- they know absolutely no one who makes a living doing hard physical work.
This is true for the majority of the political hacks we elect to high office.
Pfft... Yeah no kidding. Tell me the last average Joe who later became a U.S. Senator? Much less a U.S. president. I'd bet you would have to go back to the frontier days. Now you need 7 figures in the bank and a law degree to even have a chance...NOT what our Founding Fathers envisioned at all.
The very rich are insulated from all this in their gated communities and resorts so they don’t care.
Got that Right..,,Good Night Ya’ll
What a maroon, you must be a greenie that plots against the American farmer, by stealing their land, and go for organic food. In mehico, no reason to go in the morning, we just drop it off in zee field, then, zee gringo will eat it!
“I read your story and thought you were here in Michigan. I’m not quite sure why we need illegals in the worst unemployment in the country.”
Well, no, I am not and haven’t been in Michigan. I suspect this is a familiar story in most, if not all states.
‘Where are you going to find law abiding people to pick crops?’
I think Colorado has a great solution! Put the prisoners to work to pay for their room and board.

Yes, corrupt employers have a NEED for slave labor when they are too cheap to pay for real quality and educated labor.
“President Bush yesterday said Americans will soon realize they need the immigrants and foreign temporary workers that would have been allowed by his immigration bill, which was defeated in the Senate last month.”
No problem with legal immigrants.
No problem with temporary guest workers.
BIG F’n problem when the POTUS wants to turn 12 - 20 million crimigrants into legal “guest workers.”
As of the late 1700's according to the first census taken, the most prevalent ethnicities in this country were in descending order (German, Scottish, English). When we first voted on establishing a national language, Germanic almost won. So you could not have excluded the Germans even if you tried. Apparently the best we could do back then was deny them their language !
“Bush: Americans will realize need for aliens”
I see the need for them now. Especially the aliens with the death-ray guns. They would come in handy in fighting off the invading hordes of foreign criminals.
Their invisible force shields would be mighty handy also!
That's funny. I was thinking the same thing about the vast majority of posters in this thread.
LOL you are wrong. We are all eating Chinese excrement and wheat glutton. I personally am chugging a bottle of chinese wheat glutton right now thanks to Boooosh the genius.
“If you ate Food today, Thank a Mexican.”
I’ll thank an American Farmer.
