I think it's a combination of Bush's elitist upbringing, and his born again christianity. Obviously, if you watch him, he really does care about the oppressed, poor etc., I don't think there is any doubt about that. The problem is that he grew up among the elite of America, his family, Harvard, Yale etc., so the white guilt had to have rubbed off on him. When you combine that with his faith, ie helping the poor, downtrodden etc, you can see where helping the immigrants would be an issue for him, and one, unfortunatly, he probably won't change his mind on.

As a Born-Again Christian, I can say, adamantly, that Bush is doing the wrong thing.

Doesn't he realize that his goals to help the poor will only turn around and drag everyone down? Thus, all of us will be living in squalor conditions. Furthermore, I doubt whether two large cultures can live side-by-side, harmoniously. I don't think that it's possible. History has told us that it's very difficult. Furthermore, given the huge differences between the two countries, I doubt as to whether anyone will be helped by this. In fact, I know that only a few elites will be helped.

Like another poster said, why doesn't Bush use his high approval ratings to get behind the Constitution, protecting our borders, trying to stop abortion, etc. I know that without a doubt that the above mentioned, with the firm support of the President, would be greatly supported by everyone.

Is sanity gone? Is common sense gone?
