Bush's proposal is not law or enacted policy, is it? I see this as a political move. Unlike campaign finance reform (which WAS a mistake, but very likely one that will hurt the dems more than the GOP), there is little chance that Bush's proposal will be enacted. Thus, President Bush will perhaps gain among Hispanic voters (at least some of them) and gain points with Vicente Fox. And dems will have to again, say how much they hate Bush, while offering, again, no alternatives of their own, further exposing the only tenet of the democrats: "We hate republicans."

It's a political move, for sure. It's called "more of the same."

I have been a lifelong Republican and I have done plenty of grunt work on Republican campaigns. But that has not blinded me to the fact that pandering to lawbreakers and their interest groups is sleazy, whether it comes from the Democrats OR the Republicans.
