As I've suggested before with reference to our current President, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. And it seems to me that President Bush is, basically, right on the question of how to deal with the issue of illegal / undocumented / choose-your-adjective immigrants. From Reuters:
"I know this is an emotional debate," Bush said. "But the one thing we cannot lose sight of is we're talking about human beings, decent human beings. Massive deportation of the people here is unrealistic. It's not going to work."
... Bush, wrapping up a West Coast swing, said he favored a temporary worker program that would allow illegal immigrants to work inside the United States, but opposed granting automatic citizenship.
Basically, Bush seems to be backing something like the compromise bill that Senators Kennedy and McCain are behind. Kennedy has expressly requested Bush's support for the bill, and maybe he's going to get it. Seems sensible to me.
