Immigration reform unlikely soon, Bush tells Fox

11 minutes ago

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -President Bush told Mexican President
Vicente Fox the U.S. Congress is unlikely to pass immigration reforms before November congressional elections, Fox said on Monday.


The Mexican president asked Bush about Congress' negotiations on immigration when the two leaders met at the Group of Eight summit in Russia during the weekend.

Bush cautioned that time was running out.

"He pointed out that this period is very short, there are only two or three weeks before Congress members go on the election campaign," Fox told Mexican radio on a flight from St. Petersburg, Russia, to Madrid.

"So the chance of the immigration issue reaching approval in the House of Representatives and reaching joint approval isn't very high," Fox said.

3. But it will endear Bush to his REAL base

The business owners who are profiting from underpaying the illegal workers--and Fox is profiting, too, because he gets to dispose of his underclass and cash in the money they send to their families at home. We called this shot months ago!

4. Yes, not soon. However, right AFTER the election.

Lame ducks who have nothing to lose join with corporatists who know the electorate has a very short memory.
