The most pressing problem is the ILLEGALS. Better not take his amnesty plan to the people with 80% + against it.
Ummm...hate to burst your bubble, but you've been lied to...there is no Bush "amnesty plan" being considered in Congress.
On Jan. 7, Mr. Bush proposed raising the level of legal immigration and creating a perpetual guest-worker program that would both allow the estimated 8 million to 12 million illegals already in the country to remain and work and allow new applicants from foreign countries to apply for guest-worker status as long as they can find a willing employer.IOW, Bush's never submitted a written plan, only a vague verbal outline during his speech and he clearly stated that it was up to Congress to work out the details. This so-called "plan" has been DOA for months, and Congress is to blame for not picking the issue up after Bush threw it on the table. If people expended as much time supporting Tancredo's proposal as they do bickering about the no-longer-existent Bush proposal, we'd all be better off. Write your Congress-critters and tell them to get off their butts and do something!But his proposal met with objections from both sides. Few lawmakers endorsed his proposal, and many even called it "dead on arrival."
Mr. Bush has not submitted specific legislation, and his Jan. 7 speech was just a statement of principles.
