WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration and key congressional Democrats and Republicans stepped up their efforts to sell a broad immigration compromise Thursday as lawmakers braced for a public backlash at home.

"Many Americans are rightly skeptical about immigration reform," President Bush said in a Rose Garden news conference. "This bill provides the best chance to reform our immigration system and help us make certain we know who's in our country and where they are."

It gives them TAX AMNESTY! That alone is enough to make me FURIOUS. I don’t want to get started on all the other things about it that are sickening.

Ya know, Bush and Company need to get their dictionaries out and find the meaning of the word... The attempts to try to sway the American people into thinking this is anything but amnesty is disingenuous.
I hope and pray the bill doesn’t pass. We don’t need “immigration reform” - we need to enforce our existing immigration laws!

Jorge, Enforce our existing laws and build (and man) the fence then let’s worry about the rest. Everything else is horse$#!^. You know this, and we know this, so drop the pretense and coyness. It is beneath you, Jorge.

Sounds just like what Julie-Annie said!

Rudy flips gun stance...

How are all those illegals going to wage war on the streets of Los Angeles without guns???

With ALL due respect Mr. President BS! It is indeed amnesty and most everyone recognizes the fact.

They don't even know how MANY illegals are in the country today. The President doesn't know the bill's Z Visa provision requires the federal government to perform a background check in 24 hours prior to granting a Z Visa. What a sick joke!

The President just does not apprieciate how incensed Americans are that illegal “guest workers” demonstrated in the streets against our government in a time of war. And now they want benefits? Over my dead body.

Don’t care about amnesty right now. Secure the borders. Everything else can go on table once the borders are secure.

A STINKING LIE!!!

Immediately after this legislation passes any illegal alien can apply for a probationary Z Visa and he must get it or be turned down within 24 hours.

This probationary Z Visa translates into a real Z Visa as soon as the bureaucratic machinery gets set up and they ink up their rubber stamps. Z VISA equals permanent legal right to live and work in the USA. Which is amnesty
