In statements to the Mexican press made in Washington and published Wednesday in Reforma daily, Laura Bush explained she and her husband had lived in Texas for many years and have a special sensitivity for the problems of the U.S. Hispanic community.

"There are so many stories about immigrants and the children of immigrants in the United States. Our whole country is made up of immigrants who were able to overcome poverty and obtain good jobs. There are many examples in my husband's administration," the first lady noted.

Mrs. Bush acknowledged that the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks had set back the agenda between Mexico and the United States, but insisted that Presidents Bush and Fox "are going to meet again to try to revitalize and refocus the issue of immigration."

"Normalization" is doublespeak for Amnesty.

I've been looking at this thread all day, Saber, and there truly is no reason for any of the Bush folks to post here. It's nothing more than a baited thread. You may be sincere, but there are others here who are not and it truly isn't worth the energy to ultimately end up doing this:
