President George W. Bush told a group of Texas reporters Friday that he regretted immigration policies were not reformed while he was in office.

"I'm very disappointed that it didn't pass," he said in an interview with correspondents from his home state. "I'm very worried about the message that said, 'Republicans are anti-immigrant.'"

Argh. No, the Republicans are not "anti-immigrants"--and this is coming from someone who is an immigrant herself--a legal one.

My family is from the former Soviet Union--we didn't have the luxury of just walking across the border. However, I guess the Mexicans are special, and we shouldn't worry their pretty heads with rules and the law.

President Bush, how about you pardon those two Border Agents.

Thank you Sir.

The overwhelming majority of Americans are opposed to amnesty for illegal aliens. Amnesty is supported only by politicians who are vying for the Latino vote.

As the job market dries up in America, illegals are going back to Mexico. It’s an historic pattern: come to the U.S. to make more money, go back home when you’ve made enough, or there’s no money to be made.

I regret your not try more to stop ILLEGAL immigration, Presidente.

For a President who was so right for the time in terms of 9/11, he is a great disappointment in everything else. Sad

Even though he has pissed off conservatives, I have a feeling we'll be missing him sooner rather than later...IMO, it's gonna get very bad before it gets better.

(No Mr President, Republicans are anti-amnesty)

If you know the GOP politicians who are in political offices nowdays, the republicans are as pro amensty as the marxist democrats are.

BDS, I’m glad you don’t suffer from it. The definition being someone who doesn’t see what is real, and you do see Bush as he really is, a republican socialist scumbag.

I also say good-bye to the moroon.

>>...Anyways, Bush was less worse, less punk’d the country then AlGore, or Yon Kerry the Duke de Ketchup. So, Algore/Kerry or GW? I’d vote again for GW, even now.<<

I didn't vote for King Bush I or II -- voted 3rd. party.

If I had to make the choice between only Gore, Kerry or Bush I or II, I'd move to Ireland.

Still unable to differentiate between legal and illegal immigration, I see. Had this administration effectively communicated the difference between the two, the GOP wouldn’t be at risk of appearing “anti-immigrant”. Of course, this administration didn’t effectively communicate anything, so I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Perfectly stated - your 8 words are a spot-on description!

Bears repeating

[Psycho_Bunny]

I’m not going to miss this jerk....until late January.

"I'm very worried about the message that said, 'Republicans are anti-immigrant.'"

I'm concerned about the message (out of the WH) that said, "you'll be rewarded for your lawbreaking."

>>The pressure from Republicans that stopped president Bush’s amnesty plan. I am sure that you remember that, when talk radio lead the charge?<<

Yes, Mark, I remember that. Thank God for the fearless House members who stood against it.

[hosepipe]

Bush favors Alfred E. Nueman(MADD Mag.) like a twin..
Obviously the same democrats that tricked the republicans into John McLaim were behind Bush's selection as president.. Somebody has been laughing for 8 years..

I have not been amused from the first day "SALON" selected him(Bush) as possible republican candidate..

Unfortunately, Bush still does not get that people are not stupid. In 1988 the USA gave amnesty to over 2,000,000 illegal immigrants, promising that we would never again have to do that because we would close our borders and enforce immigration laws on the books. Fast forward to today, the USA wants to give amnesty to at least 20,000,000 illegal immigrants because the 2,000,000 told their friends and family to come on in. In the meantime, Polish and other legal immigrants face a closed door and insult as well.

I do not want to do it again. I want my government to keeps its promises and its integrity. I want to see my government close the borders as it promised in 1988. Then we can talk about what is best for the illegals now in this country. Why do we not treat illegals just like Mexico treats its illegals?

Bush is a One-World, open borders policy advocate who refuses to pardon Ramos and Compean, put in jail for doing their jobs of guarding our borders, something the majority of Americans want, instead of awarding pardons to those with political connections and donation dollars, IMO.

“Ten more days until we don’t have to put up with this crap anymore.”

But we may be jumping out of the frying pan, into the FIRE.

He has greatly dissapointed me also, but remember what the US is about to put in office.

[bimboeruption]

Don't get me started on Ramos and Compean.

THE MORON pardoned drug dealers, but couldn't pardon 2 loyal Americans who were protecting us?

Bush sucks big time.

[DCPatriot]

The people are glad Bush is gone.

Speak for yourself.

[kenth]

He really doesn’t like the peons, us I mean, does he?

[proudofthesouth]

I've had more than enough of this RINO elitist. Charge and convict him of treason!
