Bush has sought an overhaul of U.S. immigration laws for years and this bill may have been his last chance for a significant domestic legislative victory before leaving office at the end of his second term in January 2009.
Bush made clear he was moving on from immigration to other issues like balancing the federal budget. "A lot of us worked hard to see if we couldn't find common ground (on immigration), it didn't work," Bush said in a stop at the Naval War College in Rhode Island.
Good riddance. This was a bad bill as I've described before. It's too bad the President couldn't help put together a sensible bill that wouldn't hurt American workers. But, as they say, no bill is better than a bad bill...

If they really wanted to stop then illegals from coming here, they would punish employers, then the jobs would dry up.
The problem is, this bill is all for Corporate America, who wants cheap labor at the cost of others jobs.
Right on the money Larry! It's high time more people start waking up to what you're saying...
