Bush to Propose Immigration Law Changes

Why only Mexicans? Why not Canadians?

This is so blatantly politically motivated that I'm fuming :mad:

The bright side might be those crazy anti immigrant right wing loonies might finally vote against Bush or abstain in the next elections.

Bush to Propose Immigration Law Changes

WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) will propose immigration law changes to allow workers from Mexico to enter the United States if they have jobs waiting for them, officials said Monday in previewing an election-year measure intended to bolster support among Hispanic voters.

"The president has long talked about the importance of having an immigration policy that matches willing workers with willing employers," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said. "It's important for America to be a welcoming society. We are a nation of immigrants, and we're better for it."

Immigration advocacy groups characterized Bush's move as a politically drawn effort to curry favor with Hispanics, a potent political force, particularly in key states like Florida, California and border states. Two sources speaking on condition of anonymity said Bush would outline a set of principles rather than a detailed piece of legislation, and that the policy statement would draw on bills already pending in Congress.

2. Thanks George!

Let's outsource within our own borders and create more pressure to lower wages across the board. Geez, I hope the Freepers are happy.

3. I think this is a loser

All polls consistently show that a huge majority of Americans are against illegal immigration.

In Ca. governor's election, legal Latinos voted against Davis on Licenses for illegals.

For some it's a jobs issue, some a drain on local resources, some it's a criminal issue, & some it's xenophobia.

Conservatives are irate at Bush about thiss issue. Maybe it will decrease turnout.
