I don't know what the outcome would be, but it wouldn't suprise me to determine (upon review of important numbers and such) that sweeps would be better timed for next year.
That is, if you prefer a Bush Presidency to a Kerry (and I do).
In CA, he could win on just that issue (in addition to his record), since CA voters don't like the effects of illegal immigration.

After the elections? That'll be too late for CA's votes. When the President announced his "not an amnesty" amnesty plan earlier this year, it was not popular among citizens in CA. By restarting the sweeps, he could make himself very popular. That is, if you prefer a Bush Presidency to a Kerry (and I do).
Sure, I do, too, but CA Democrats outnumber Republicans, Democrats won the last few Presidential elections in CA, and there aren't any signs of a significant change in CA opinion.
If Bush does nothing, he won't gain CA's 55 electoral votes and nothing really changes. If he can make voters in CA happy, he could not only gain 55 but also take 55 away from Kerry for a net change of 110 EV's and a landslide victory.
