I never expected Bush to do this! I always thought he wanted the boarders and immigration laws loose because I thought he was for cheap labor. Good move I think, since it is against the law.
I however do think he should maybe grant amnesty to illegal immigrants already here one last time. I thought he was going to this too! Guess not.
Bush Says Immigration Law Must Tighten Borders (Update4) March 27 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush, addressing critics of his immigration proposals among fellow Republicans, said the U.S. must bolster border security while bringing illegal immigrants out of ``the shadows.''
``Our immigration system cannot function if we cannot control the border,'' Bush said today during a naturalization ceremony for new immigrants in Washington. ``No one is served by an immigration system that allows large numbers of people to sneak across the border illegally.''
The president emphasized tightening U.S. borders while repeating his support for a ``guest worker'' program as Congress this week considers legislation to overhaul U.S. immigration laws. The debate has divided Bush's Republican Party as lawmakers are trying to balance voter demands for greater security with the needs of companies that are seeking workers from abroad.
Immigration is emerging as an issue that may play into the congressional elections in November, and at least one opponent of Bush's position, Republican Representative Tom Tancredo of Colorado, has vowed to make it a central debate in the 2008 presidential race.
