Graham sought to add the GOP immigration plan — over White House opposition — to a pending bill to fund the budget for the Homeland Security Department.

The underlying bill had already drawn a veto threat for breaking Bush’s budget. White House spokesman Scott Stanzel noted that Wednesday’s plan would not have been financed by fines on illegal immigrants as were comparable provisions from the broader bill that died last month; it therefore would have added $3 billion to the deficit.

Neither is President Bush...........if it doesn’t contain amnesty for all his illegal buddies.

So JWB is going to veto this, even though the majority of the country wishes to see it done?

Wow.

This is just effing ridiculous. Is Bush pining for impeachment?
