we elected bush, right? and that means we agree with him, right? well according to bush, americans can't do all the jobs and we need guest workers in order to help us.
that means america basically agreed with this, in a way. our american leader has spoken and so has the people.
anyone care to comment?

if most disagreed, why did we elect him? its america's fault.

now that our leader says something you don't like, you turn on him. just like you turned on america. you say you love it, but you pour out so much hate especially towards desperate people coming to america by any means

If I remember correctly, Bush won the 2004 election with 51% of the vote, compared with 48% for John Kerry. The notion that "america agreed" is simply false: something like half of Americans supported Bush strongly enough to vote for him, and even that doesn't mean that they agreed with him on any issues, and on top of that, his current approval rating is closer to 1/3rd.
Frankly, I don't care what Bush thinks about anything (even the immigration issue, which I think has been his strongest position so far), and I certainly don't think that he represents America.

you stated"well according to bush, americans can't do all the jobs and we need guest workers in order to help us." did he make that statement before he took office? And then changed his mind to affect what he is saying now?
You stated"we elected bush, right? " If you voted for him and you believe he was elected,that's fine but don't speak for the millions that think the election was rigged and those that did not vote for him!

Its not so simple.
Bush sentiment has turned sour. He has pissed a lot of people off due to his handling of the middle east. So we have to live with his decisions at this point.
Everything he does is suspect now. I think he is wise to give amnesty to illegals, its just simple economics.....If illegals truly presented a threat to this country, Bush would have done something, since he seems to be hyper vigilant about our national security.
Bottom line he is a globalist, like his dad, how can you close borders and want a global economy?

A president is not our king. it is a temporary post, i believe to give all factions a chance to choose the direction our nation goes. we should give that person whoever she is a chance to administer our national affairs...he deserves some respect. However, we Americans are famous for our unwillingness to be led in a direction we are opposed to. A president does not have the right to do anything other than adinister the laws honestly. He does not have the right to choose what laws he will enforce. He even can be stripped of his position if he breaks the law. Everyone can say what they want for or against him, their right to an opinion and personal freedom is guaranteed just as the president's rights as president are temporarily guaranteed...he is an American citizen just like the rest, he is not royalty. It is not only your right to dissent, but your duty to express your dissenting views. However, we formed a constitution to stave off violent rebellion for a peaceful transition every 4 years. he's a person like anyone else, but chosen. our own degree of respect for him is based on how honestly he took the oath of office...Is he a real patriot? It's not for you to determine for me my respect for him or my views of his patritism.

whats ironic about this is the mexicans turned on him to when bush didn't like their remake of the national anthem, and when he told them to learn English . lmao and they will turn on him again if they don't like something he says.
our elected officials are supposed to represent what the people want so if hes not doing his job this is America we can tell him about it and fire his rear end

If you want to love him when it suits you go ahead. He may end up being impeached but not for WMD's. Bush's failure to fulfill his oath of office to defend the US and its constitution abrogating his responsibility to protect the borders and sovereignty of America will be his and the republicans undoing.
