I would not say Bush can't do a thing--he does not want to do so. When I go to the nearby Drexelbrook club for the annual Republican convention with my Rep brother and alot of my Rep friends (they don't care if Dems like me attend, lol, because I am a businessman and it is a local thing) I find my answer when I see all the nouveau riche businessmen there who became wealthy from scratch with construction, restaurant, cleaning companies, etc., that used under-the-table immigrant labour to make their wealth. That is what I see is the real story--looking to get rich Gordon Gekko-style without regard to the law and who else gets screwed in the process of evading it.

The sad part is that we need alot of legal immigration quick to start paying taxes for the upcoming Baby Boomer generation who will flood down the health care system. With 40% of the legal population being over 55 years old in the next few years, we need new taxpayer blood as fast as possible.

It's the oldest story on the planet. Even when Southerners in the late 19th century were making movies about the blacks trying to run wild in the South and take the white women, at the same time they were assasinating any blacks who were talking about trying to emigrate away from the South. They still wanted (and did) make slaves out of them again, after the Hayes Compromise. Their slave labor was apparently more valuable, than everything else the Southerners hated about them. I guess economic interests are still the order of the day.
