Bush ain't appeasing anyone.

He is differentiating between the mess he inherited, and the future crackdown on illegals required to maintain a secure homeland.

By creating a new legal status, that of temporary worker, Bush can now properly catalogue their presence by self-identification. These workers, if they qualify, will then start contributing their fair-share of taxes, and similarly be protected by employment laws, eliminating the unfair advantage over American employees.

These semi-permanent residents who have been employed by American homes and companies for years will be allowed to apply to the new legal channel, and must agree to comply with the law.

And those that don't, can and will be dealt with harshly, with no media sympathy, because there no longer is a reason not to apply.

The benefits of such a program are orders of magnitude over the existing system.

Any other plan, including McNader round-ups, will NEVER happen as long as there is a 'Rat party.

Count your blessings - Bush has hit a home run.

THINK about it.
