No, it means that President Bush is allied with the Republican Senate over the the Republican House on this ONE issue.No, he's not even allied with the Republican Senate - only about a third of the GOP voted against the border security first resolution.
For Bush to get his way, he needs the nearly full support of the Dems in both houses. That alone shows he is wrong on this issue.

Don't forget, the Dems are in a pickle over this, too. The unions do NOT want amnesty. I'd say about half the Dem rank-and file disagree with THEIR leaders on this one. It's a political loser all around.

That alone shows he is wrong on this issue. Good point, which I'll have to accept. Like the wise man said, facts are stubborn things! Having said that, this is still only one issue, and the Democrats oppose him on so many others in which is correct--- most importantly, the most important issue of our time--- the WOT.
