I'm getting tired of hearing Democrats complain about the President's failed plan for immigration reform. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the President get forced to push through Teddy's plan in order to get the funding for our troops in the war zone? Wasn't it the Democrats that were crying for an Amnesty Program and a path to legal status for the 12 million criminals? Maybe I lost the big picture when I went on vacation, but I don't understand how the President can be criticized for the Democratic plan of Ted Kennedy on Immigration reform failing to get enough support.
If anyone knows of resource sites that clearly state the party positions on immigration reform, please enlighten me...I would like to know what the differences are in the two major parties approach to the non-secure border problem and the treatment of the criminals that are here and the treatment of the employers of those criminals and the complete failing of our homeland security to enforce immigration law.

Because the bleeding heart liberals feel sorry for people who are here in the country illegally, and President Bush wants them to come here legally instead of illegally. He wants them to go back to where they came form, get their papaers, and be processed here legally like the rest of our grandparents did. Because he is against the whole, "they're already here, we might as well let them stay" attitude. President Bush and some of us Republicans feel that being here illegally and then being allowed to stay is like cheating or cutting in line. There are so many people still waiting to arrive legally, and the illegals are using up all of the resources to process the legals. It's not fair for the line cutters to get a break and leave those waiting for their legal papers in the lurch. So he is standing firm against the bleeding heart liberal Democrats, and they don't like it.

The President has to come up with the Proposal and Congress all has to approve. If the Majority doesn't then they have to rewrite it. Just like with work, you come up with a proposal if it's no good you write up another one. Same thing, just President Bush needs to make sense of what he is proposing and thing of it in long terms. If he can...
