President Bush yesterday told Hispanics to step into the middle of the immigration debate and make sure senators who have been bombarded with calls from opponents also hear from those who support the bill.
"There's a lot of emotion on this issue, and it makes sense to have people from around the country come and sit down with members of Congress to talk rationally about the issue," he told those attending the Hispanic Prayer Breakfast in Washington yesterday.
He was speaking a day after the bill, which collapsed last week, was revived by the top Democrat and Republican in the Senate.
Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, agreed to put the bill back on the Senate's schedule next week, and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, agreed to limit the number of amendments Republicans would offer.
But roadblocks are already popping up.
Sen. Jim DeMint, South Carolina Republican, said he will block any attempt to send the bill to an eventual House-Senate conference, complicating the usual path a bill takes to reach the president's desk.

I have a friend who says she can’t watch Bush on TV anymore. She changes the channel right away. I don’t know whether I’d have that reaction - since I don’t watch TV in the first place.
you mean to say you don’t join the daily “Pray for our President” web scroll?
Not building a fence and passing that Amnesty bill will turn America into a 3rd world socialist hell hole:
The McCain-kennedy Amnesty bill will give Amnesty to 20 million illegals. Those 20 million will be allowed to bring to the U.S.A their extended family so that’s another 200 million illiterate, poor, Marxists who will turn the U.S.A into a socialist hell hole like Venezuela or Cuba. For your information:Socialism doesn't work.
They want to turn the U.S.A into a socialist Venezuela or a 3rd world country:

The correct term is angry. Dogs with rabies are mad. But I would not expect someone with your towering intellect to understand that.
Thanks for the links! In OKC they have not done a very good job of dealing with the hispanic gang problem IMHO, but that may be changing with some of the new laws passed.
Also tired of illegals crammed into vans crashing on I-40 in OK, getting some of them killed, and others hospitalized and all of us picking up the tab for the illegals.
I have Senators Inhofe and Coburn who are both fighting against this Immigration bill. Don’t imagine the WH is going to want to do a fundraiser for Jim Inhofe — he is not exactly on their “a” list right now.
Sorry if I upset your delicate sensibilities, ma'am. Well no, not really.
We no longer need you. You blew a hand Calvin Coolidge could have made a generational mandate for principled conservatism. We can and will do better.

What's to understand?
What are you angry about?

You go girl! At least you're honest.
You truly are illiterate.
Is Bush the President of the USA or the President of Mexico?

Jorge Bush...What the hell happened to you?...and to think I voted for you....
Seems to me that the Hispanics have had their chance to "sit down with members of Congress". As I recall La Raza had their people there, the only people not allowed to "talk rationally about the issue" has been the American people.
When is his breakfast with the; Arab terrorist, drug smugglers, communist Chinese ... that came in illegally? They always make illegal immigration about Hispanics and then call us racist.
