Yes that is a huge point. That's a change too compared to previous statements, and big beef I've had too. Why the heck should those immigrants, potential citizens, who've actually OBEYED our laws be pushed back in line because the illegals, mostly criminals in their countries, broke our laws and lucked into amnesty. You don't do favors for criminals, you incarcerate or deport them, period and show preferential treatment to the good ones who actually obeyed our laws. That's a big part of Bush's speech that was GREAT for legal immigrants. There are so many people being critical of Bush's speech and I have to wonder if they really listened to it because he said most of the things that real conservatives have been wanting to hear on the border. I've been well and truly PO'd at Bush for his total lack of spine when it comes to the border, but what he said on that speech tonight was more like listening to a foreign policy speech from him, as it had the same kind of spine he demonstrates in those speeches.
I understood they get in the back of the line of those already in the US but not those who are waiting for legalization in other countries.
I'm with you Texas!
