“That doesn’t explain Bush and McCain’s love affair with illegals.”

Bush didn’t have a love affair with illegals, he was willing to have the fence built, but didn’t necessarily support it - a fence-straddling stance. McCain left a vital part of his brain in the facility on Tho Nhuom street.

Bush didn’t have a love affair with illegals

BS...He not only aided and abetted this violent invasion for 8 years, he publicly encouraged it while calling Americans that had a belly full, "vigilantes".

Ya think everyone forgot about his 8 years in office?

During the Bush years, millions of illegals were so damn embolden by his administration, they marched on our cities and towns by the *millions* making threats and demands, while pushing foreign flags in your faces..

Yeah, right. That’s why Bush prattled on about “Family Values Don’t Stop at the Rio Grande”, “Jobs Americans Won’t Do”, and “Comprehensive Immigration Reform”. Not to mention dropping workplace enforcement below even the pathetic level that Clinton maintained.

And there was that small thing of pushing for amnesty for the millions of illegals here, who somehow just can’t ever be deported. I guess enforcing our laws was one of those Jobs Americans Won’t Do, at least when it comes to Hispandering presidents.

But then maybe that’s just the Bush of my imagination. The Real Dubya must have been a fierce warrior for immigration enforcement, and none of us in California noticed it.

Maybe didn't love illegals as much as he loved their culture. He wanted a "new America" and honestly if it weren't for 9-11 he might have had it.

We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture.

Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende.

For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America.

Our future cannot be separated from the future of Latin America.

As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico.

George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000.

You can read the speech here.

Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:

In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on.
