PRESIDENT BUSH AND THE IMMIGRANT PROPOSALS       
Thursday, January 15, 2004

Yes, I know I have already brought to you two commentaries this week on the dangers of President Bush’s plan to seek immigrant protection.

Bush worked to develop a good relationship with Mexico and President Vicente Fox when he was the Governor of Texas. Later, his first international trip as President was to Mexico. After the attacks of 9/11, Bush distanced himself from Fox after Mexico failed to use its seat on the United Nations Security Council to support the U.S. led attack on Iraq.

This immigration plan is Bush’s first policy announcement of his reelection year, and it appears it was calibrated by Bush’s senior adviser, Karl Rove. One official on Bush’s political team said the proposal will help bolster support for the President with Hispanic voters who it seems are “up for grabs.”

This immigration proposal will be a test for Bush because several House Republicans are hostile to the idea of liberalizing immigration.

Michael Savage, one of talk radio’s biggest stars recently called for the impeachment of President Bush over his plans to legalize millions of illegal aliens. “This is the worst betrayal of our country in my lifetime” said Savage, whose program is heard on more than 350 stations. He said Bush is part of the “enemy within” that is destroying the nation.

In the U.S., the latest poll on the controversy shows at least twice as many Americans “strongly” oppose the proposal as strongly support it.

Many Americans are declaring to stay at home on Election Day if President Bush goes through with this illegal immigration protection.

The National Border Patrol Council calls it a slap in the face to them.

Information published in the City Journal by the Manhattan Institution suggests there is a major crime wave in the U.S. due to illegal immigrants.
