Reactions from around the internet:
WASHINGTON (Map, News) - President Bush wants Congress
to approve an immigration compromise bill that will be supported mainly by Democrats. He’s no longer worried about getting re-elected, so in his pushing for the bill’s passage, Bush has now told millions of voters to get lost. These are the people who have been his most loyal supporters on virtually every other issue.Yet Bush now condemns them as unwilling to do “what’s right for
America” and accuses their allies in Congress of using “empty rhetoric” to misrepresent the bill as a form of amnesty for illegal aliens. Bush appealed for “a chance to fix the problems in a comprehensive way that enforces our border and treats people with decency and respect.”We don’t see how it is either decent or respectful to label critics of the immigration bill as unpatriotic and intellectually dishonest.
In the most fundamental sense, the debate is not about whether people from foreign countries should be allowed to come here and
become American citizens. In a post-9/11 world, the critical debate is about securing our borders; everything else is secondary.
