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.

What I rarely see mentioned is that we WERE doing all this ourselves until about a decade ago!! Then, well, you know the rest of the story. But, it's not as if we have been using this criminal labor for THAT many years, that we can't go back.
And if people can't eat fast food for a few days, or stay in a hotel, or the elites have to make their own breakfast or take care of their own children, so be it. It's NOT like most of them are working in agriculture - after all, I've seen stats that anywhere from 29 - 41 are sitting around on some type of welfare.
And for the second day in a row in the desert south of me, another 10 year old lost his mother who was breaking into the country with him. IF they had succeeded, WHO would be providing EVERYTHING for them??
Personally I believe it bears telling over and over and over
This "picture" which seems to bother and bore you so much is what many of us in the border states have to look at, live, every day. It's sickening, but the picture is real.
Keep posting that picture, traditional1, it needs to be posted to remind people about these "hard working" and "family oriented" illegal aliens that Bush loves so much that he's invited the rest of their country in to invade us even further.

Unfortunately there is no cure for herpes. After 18 plus years of Bush/Clinton, looks like our disease may also be incurable.
“I’ll thank my brother and SIL too. They have one helluva garden that we’ve been eating out of for sometime now.”
My parents have an acre set aside for a garden. The whole family (myself, brother and his 4 kids) help Dad plant, weed & harvest. The womenfolk do the canning. That little garden feeds a dozen people for almsot an entire year. We even each have our own herb gardens at our separate homes.
Dad and us boys fish almost ten months of the year and hunt in the fall. Except for a very few items I haven’t been in a grocery store in years.
That is how we got by before. Families helping each other.
“I’ll thank Wal-Mart”
Good prices.
I bet they're going to be saying other things.
But that he said this is DISGUSTING.
Take me to your leader. Gas pump says nothing.Take me to your leader.Gas pump still says nothing.Take me to your leader or I will blast you with my raygun.....Funny joke
"Border guards"? What border guards? It sounds like you are one of those on welfare or after Hurricane Katrina who can't take care of himself/herself. You also must not believe in American innovation whatsoever.
bush is going to elect a democrap president in 2008.
Sounds like he has some rather modestly payed employees.

If this was true you wouldn't be stuck with posting the same picture over and over again for months on end.
You would have new material to provide us "every day" as you claim. But you don't.
Keep posting that picture, traditional1, it needs to be posted to remind people about these "hard working" and "family oriented" illegal aliens that Bush loves so much that he's invited the rest of their country in to invade us even further.
In which case you are being deceitful and dishonest.
That picture doesn't represent the majority of hardworking family oriented illegals and you know it.
Do you people even care how you discredit yourself with this nonsense?
“Where you going to find these law abiding people to pick the crops??”
I believe that you could get enough laborers if you were to pay them say, $30/hr. The problem is that farmers want help but are unwilling to pay them.
LOL! You are right and I didn't even catch that earlier!
I wonder if this Boosh has seen an electronic barcode scanner inside a grocery store. (Why do I wonder - I know he hasnt!)
