The actions of this administration are so utterly insane that it's hard to discern when a satirist is using rhetorical exaggeration.The only thing that makes sense to me is something pretty off-the-wall -- like THIS theory from jebeier:
Was Amnesty Bill a Strategery? - VANITY

Perhaps this whole Amnesty business is a sublime and supremely cunning strategery.
Now, I know you all may want to dismiss the possibility out of hand, but bear with me for a moment...
By promoting this bill, in one fell swoop President Bush has managed to:
a) Get almost the entire Democrat caucus in the Senate to come out in favor of Amnesty, which is very unpopular,And all it has cost him is a few points in the public opinion polls, which is irrelevant because he will never run for office again.
b) Forever link his old arch-nemesis, John McCain, to this very unpopular bill,
c) Get somewhere close to 80% of Americans to oppose Ted Kennedy, and
d) Kill the possibility of comprehensive immigration reform for the forseeable future.
Now the Republican field (except John McCain) can run against the President of their own party in 2008 by opposing him on this issue. The 800 pound Iraqi gorrilla has been replaced by a 1600 pound illegal immigration gorilla.
And the vast majority of Republicans (besides John McCain) are in a much better position to debate on this issue...CLICK HERE for the rest of that thread
Unfortunately, that's all it is. If Bush wanted to actually prevent any move toward immigration 'reform,' without any real trouble, he could...um...I don't know...maybe...
ENFORCE THE CURRENT $#@!$@#! LAW!
I’m begining to think the Iraq war is a diversion so that this bill can get shoved through, fwiw.
