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 happened to the president? Why is he so obtuse and progressively getting worse? Do we have an impostor?
Many good questions. Immigration is simple. Throw up the damn fence (hire illegals one last time if you need...good irony), kick out the illegals and let the legal immigrants waiting in line, who want to obey our laws, do the jobs Americans don’t want to do, if there are such jobs. Finally, cut off the welfare for illegals.
Lol!
No, the Bush hating morons on these threads are, just as they gave us the Democrap Congress we now have.
He’s bound and determined to repay the Clintons, isn’t he. That and Mexico and a few other debts he apparently has.
nonsense.
are you saying some of these people on this thread voted democrap?
Ping
White people do that kind of work where I live, what’s your point?
Oh I don’t think we will ever see that fence built...
You mean instead of that wonderful group of rhinos we had.
“...most of us now feel that we have to fight both Democrats and many Republicans as well.”
Actually, he believes he is Commander in Chief of the Globalist NAU. Therefore, an invasion from Mexico (a member of the NAU) is not an 'invasion'. Neither would an invasion from Canada be an 'invasion'. His actions all make sense when you view him as the 3rd President of the Globalists NAU. As far as fighting in Iraq, he is there to support the globalist structure of which he represents the NAU. The Islamists are an enemy of the NAU primarily because the NAU includes the American Republic. So sometimes the interests of Americans will coincide with the interests of the NAU. Most of the time however, they will diverge. That explains GWB in a nutshell.
It’s a slap in the face of the american workers..every time he says they do the jobs americans won’t do...
The only one NOT doing their job his him!!!
Where have you been the past couple years?
We had numerous threads telling posters NOT TO VOTE at ALL rather than vote for "RINOS" etc. And guess what? The Dems won back Congress!
Agreed
Boosh and Booshbots here avoid considering the very plain and simple issue of legalities. No, invading a foreign country is not the same as jaywalking on the backstreets of Podunk! Please address it you bots, before you resort to insults and the phony “Prayers of W and our Troops”.)
These people aren’t only doing those jobs. They’ve savaged the construction industry.
hehehe
Some credible reports estimate up to 30 million illegals in country, then throw in their anchor babies etc.
The statements from this guy never cease to amaze.
This guy obviously has his own private agenda.
Another FUBAR.
