he's doing what he thinks is right about it

I believe that. Seriously, I do. I think Bush is doing what he thinks is right.

You're a good-hearted man. BTW, do you believe Bush when he repealed the steel tarriffs, saying they had accomplished their objectives?

Never mind that he repealed them just as Europe was ready to slap trade retributions on Florida and other politically sensitive states.

I really believe that it takes a good-hearted man to look at politicians and see compassion.

I'd like to believe Bush went after Saddam because of his crimes against humanity. But we sent Uzebekistan $500 million last year. Their tyrant has an estimated 6,500 political prisoners. Hundreds are tortured to death every year, sometimes by boiling them alive.

I am more cynical. I don't believe Bush sat down, searched his heart, and came up with this plan.

I think Karl Rove dropped by, brought some graphs showing the rise in Hispanic migration and this plan came out of the meetings.

You've probably noticed that Bush and every other national politician get up and mangle a few sentences in Spanish when it seems expedient.

Agreed. As Rush points out, there is no fiat here, no executive order, no blanket pardons as Clinton would do. And he is right, too, in the caricature of Clinton being all talk and no action. But it really has nothing to do with Clinton, except in the minds of the left-wing. It's all in looking to fix a serious problem in the best interests of the nation.

I too believe that the President is doing what he thinks is right. From what I understand, he has advocated this policy position since his days as governor of Texas!

[NOTE: While I have my areas of expertise, immigration is not one of them. For this reason, I plan to follow the lead of those I trust and know to be informed on this issue, to include President Bush (former governor of Texas), Newt Gingrich (has conducted much research on the subject), and Rudy Guilliani (who worked on this issue under Reagan). And yes, Gingrich and Guilliani support the President's policy recommendations!]
