Bush urges Hispanics to push immigration bill Despite its revival in the Senate, legislation's fate is uncertain.
WASHINGTON — President Bush urged Hispanics to lobby hard for a major immigration bill Friday, a day after it was revived in the Senate.
"Each day our nation fails to act, the problem only grows worse," Bush said at the annual National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast. "I will continue to work closely with members of both parties to get past our differences and pass a bill I can sign this year."
Bush's comments came after Senate leaders announced a deal Thursday that would allow the legislation to come back to the Senate floor as early as next week.
But the fate of the measure is uncertain.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Friday that he "insisted on a process to prevent endless debate and get the bill through the Senate."
He said he hoped Republicans would not "stall" the legislation.

How low can a man go?

Our government has failed to act Bushie—WHERE’S THE FENCE!
God bless our President. He will lead our cause to victory.
What the heck are you talking about?
The Unites States of America is about to be lost.
How do we threaten in NY state when we are cursed with Shcumer and Clin-toon.......
luckily, I'll be dead in 25 years and I won't see or care.
No willingness to fight and a desire to give in........
If General Patton was alive, he would slap many faces!!
Unlike the anti-immigration extremists, the President realizes that our only hope is to win over Hispanic voters.
The United States of America is about to become a much better place thanks to the foresight of President Bush.
And our President has completely lost his mind. The future better not be the illegal-Hispanic-invasion model or our country and all the value it has so far given the world is really lost. Just how useful has Mexico been to helping the rest of the world?
We can only hope and campaign for someone that really understands the seriousness of the problem.

Hope ‘Hispanics’ are smart enough not to buy into that. No ‘guest worker’ is going back to Mexico, they’ve brought families, and plan to stay.
SPOT THE DIFFERENCE;
“annual National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast”

Hold on pal......Mexicans are for this but not all Hispanics are Mex.....Cubans are not in favor of this cuz they will lose the political status they now have. PRs are aginst this too.
Mex is looked down upon by a majority of Hispanics.
He is turning to his base it seems.
I don’t know anyone here FRiend who is anti-immigration - on the other hand I know many who are anti-illegal immigration.
the anti-immigration extremists
If they want illegal immigration to remain illegal, I agree.
What’s extreme is making illegal immigration, legal.
Fixed!
I voted for George W too, but you are aware of a new Presidential race kinda coming soon?
I am for Giuliani, but Fred will do.
The main thrust is to deny the *unt hill clin-toon.

I agree. Let’s not fail to act anymore. Impeach Bush immediately.

Exactly, Al Qedah, spies from China and Russia, and many others
who can’t vote here but supported Democrats in the last election want their ‘guest worker’ rights too.
