NASHVILLE, Tenn. - President Bush sharply challenged critics of his stalled immigration-overhaul efforts on Thursday, suggesting that failure to pass a guest-worker program could trigger a labor shortage in the United States.
At a town-hall style meeting, Bush also rebuffed a question about whether he would consider pardoning two Border Patrol agents in prison for the cover-up of the shooting of a drug trafficker in Texas.
"No, I won't make you that promise," Bush told a woman who asked about a possible pardon. Many Republicans in Congress have said the men should not have been convicted and have criticized the federal U.S. attorney for even prosecuting the agents.
"I know it's an emotional issue but people need to look at the facts. These men were convicted by a jury of their peers after listening to the facts" as presented by U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, said Bush. Bush called Sutton a friend.

I believe that Andy Griffith is also an active liberal Democrat. I don’t know about the late Don Knotts, who came from WV and could, for all I know, have been allied with Robert Carlyle Byrd, who voted against illegal immigration.
One of those conservatives you indirectly mentioned is Chuck Norris, I believe.
And I thought you were the real "Borax Queen."
I swear to God.
That’s Your Highness, to you.
All I know about DU is when it is mentioned on this forum. I have never went into the site and have no plans to do so. It’s a shame though that conservatives cannot admit that GWB is a failure. They admitted that Governor Taft in OH was a failure. So is GWB. And Cheney. Jack Kemp failed without ever trying.
Can't you find another American "person of color" to mow your lawn?
I can't believe how stupid your responses are.
Flattery will get you nowhere my 'Hispanic' name-handled FRiend.
There are no people I know of with actual names like Borax Queen and/or Zulu, however there are quite a few with an actual name of Jorge. I even suspect that you probably know quite a few of them.
LOL
: )
Kind of like libby. Get off the immigration crap Mr. President and get with explaining, defending and promoting your iraq strategy. It's more important to the country you unite the people on that.
oh noooooooooooooo
: )
Yes, Chuck Norris. I think some others are Patricia Heaton, Angie Harmon, Dennis Miller, Bruce Willis, Gary Sinise (or at the least, he’s super supportive of the troops)? I’m forgetting some ...
You've shown yourself no stranger to cliches with your inane 'DU' references, that is so old and worn and has no real merit considering the 'tripe' that the moonbats over there consider reasoned debate.
Also as if you didn't know throwing the term 'hater' around is right out of the liberal 101 playbook. Are you really a conservative?
That head in the Kool-Aid is funny. He looks like the floating Big Brother head.

DU is waiting for you.
You need to get out of the house more. Really.
Just spoofing about Don Knotts.
Tom Selleck is one of the Hollywood conservatives.
~~~Rats and RINO Season Now Open~~~;0)
That’s right, Tom Selleck.
And phew about Knotts :) He had some good (well, corny but funny) Disney movies, and then of course “The Ghost and Mr. Chicken,” lol.
