Having read hundreds of threads regarding this immigration disaster, I don't believe President Bush realized the extent of the outrage the American people hold towards our out of control borders and immigration policies.

Joe, I think Bush has got the word that there is outrage in the land about his immigration disaster. IMO, Bush is a stubborn S*B that is going to push his open borders insanity for whatever reason come hell or high water even if it costs him reelection. That's why I think he is so dangerous. Our best hope rests with Congress to shut the guy down just like the last world president we had. What I like about the House is that they are always up for election every two years. As such, representatives have to listen more carefully to the will of people. The focus should be placed here because I seriously doubt Bush is going to listen.

There was an article in a New Mexico paper (I think New Mexico -- can't find it right now) within the last month on the subject that the politicians and the public were not in agreement on what should be done about immigration. One of the people interviewed/quoted in the article was a Republican strategist. To paraphrase what this strategist said, "We know what the public wants on immigration, but we don't care. When it comes time to vote, they won't vote based on the immigration issue but on other issues. So, we are going to do what we want on immigration regardless of what the people want because it won't cost us any votes". I don't know if they felt enough wrath over 245(i) to shift strategy or not. I was going to send a letter to the RNC (or somebody) pointing out that with a strategist like that they might be in deep trouble. Like do they realize that they probably lost control of the Senate because of immigration. If Abraham was not so pro-immigration then there would not have been as much support for the Reform Party candidate and Abraham would likely have retained his Senate seat and the Republicans would still have control of the Senate. Not to mention the fact that it was tremendously stupid of this strategist to announce in public that the Republican leadership just didn't give a damn about what the people wanted, they were only concerned about what they could get away with.
