White House political strategist Karl Rove said Tuesday that the highly charged immigration debate has "clouded" the views of some Americans, leading them to dismiss the importance of immigrants and their contribution to the nation's success.

"Everything that this country is, everything that we have achieved, everything that we hold, everything that we promise, is because we are a nation of diversity, brought together by immigration, and sharing a common dream," Rove told members of the nation's largest Hispanic civil rights group, the National Council of La Raza.

Rove ticked off enforcement elements of the president's proposal, but added, "All these measures will come to naught without a temporary worker program. ... It's not enough to say send them home."

He also warned that critics against were confusing the debate with catchwords, rather than solutions.

"Too many simplify the problem into one word, "amnesty," Rove said. "In an issue this vital, we cannot allow words to be misused."

Wow! This will certainly please the Republican base. Talk about snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.

This speech featured deplorable pandering adorned with playing the Hispanic race card. A video on Fox showed Rove saying " We would accept a poor bill because the issue is so important".

This is not good for Nov.

The main thing that has "clouded" the view is spinmeisters like Rove who can't seem to put "illegal" in the same paragraph as "immigrant". Instead they throw up strawmen like these.

[Mr. Mojo]

They're real Americans only if:

1) They're legal citizens.

2) Their allegiance is to the U.S. .....and only the U.S.

Comprende, Karl?

Too many simplify the problem into one word, "amnesty," Rove said. "In an issue this vital, we cannot allow words to be misused."

How "uncivil" of Karl. Karl is now a word "vigilante." LOL. Hypocrite.

[SoCalPol]

Bush is getting bad advice from Rove.
Rove needs to spend one week in San Diego and get into the world of reality.

You give "Horse$h1t" a bad name!

Is horse$h1t a catchword? Interesting how rove talks about catch word and his entire speech is about the immigrant American spirit. A catch word designed to deflect from the fact that these people are not immigrants, or Americans.

WAY TO GO KARL!!!!!!!

Whooooppp! ;^)

"In an issue this vital, we cannot allow words to be misused."

I guess you don't mind if the 'illegals' misuse America or America's National Security then, eh Rove? I can't type anymore on this.....I'll just simply have to vote and be done with it.

[cripplecreek]

Oh boy.

[Dante3]

Rove is speaking like a true traitor or a crazy man.

[CAluvdubya]

So right SoCal!

I was reading this and waiting for the word illegal to come up. Nobody has a problem with immigration. The key word is illegal!

[Melas]

Rove made far too much sense for the growing anti-hispanic brigade here on FR.
