Ya know, I can find a lot of uplifting stories just from regular Americans. A friend of mine was abandoned by his mother when he was eight. He struggled, he told me stories of living in a abandoned trailer with no electricity and precious little food in the winter in South Dakota. He did what he had to do to survive, he managed to stay in school, he got trained as a welder, then a college degree, after he got his college degree they found out he had dyslexia. He said he wasn't going to let anything stand in his way and he didn't and doesn't.

He had life as hard as any illegal, and maybe harder than most. Why doesn't Bush talk about Americans who start with nothing and make something of themselves, this land is full of those stories.

Me too. And you know what? They didn't take advantage of the taxpayers, or knock more qualified people out of jobs and seats at universities under affirmative action.
