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.

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.

I agree entirely. What is absolutely crazy about Bush's immigration stance is that it represents a real threat to the GOP's continued hold on the House - so in his zeal to circumvent the House GOP to get his guest worker program, Bush could well trigger events that lead to Dem control of the House - and his subsequent possible impeachment. That is what is so bizzare about this situation, IMO - what in the hell is so important about a guest worker program that Bush is willing to stake the GOP House on getting it through.
