Democrats Demand Bush Deliver Republican Votes on Immigration

"Jan. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Democrats are demanding President George W. Bush deliver significant support -- likely more than a quarter of all House Republicans -- to ensure passage of a bipartisan overhaul of U.S. immigration law.

Democrats say they won't shoulder the responsibility alone for any comprehensive and politically sensitive plan that includes Bush's proposals to give 12 million illegal aliens a chance at citizenship and to create a guest-worker program. The president made his latest pitch for the plan in his State of the Union address this week.

Substantial Republican support is ``a prerequisite,'' said Democratic Representative Howard Berman (news, bio, voting record) of California. Key Democrats and congressional aides from both parties suggest 50 to 60 of the House's 202 Republicans is the minimum backing to guarantee passage. ``I would hope the number would be closer to 100,'' said Illinois Democrat Luis Gutierrez (news, bio, voting record), a sponsor of immigration reform.

Last year, the Republican-controlled House thwarted Bush's drive to revamp immigration as members of his own party decried what they said was an amnesty program for illegal aliens. Instead, they approved a 700-mile fence last year to tighten the U.S.-Mexico border.

The president and the new Democratic-controlled Congress now find themselves uneasy allies on the issue."

We could look at this three ways. A. the Democrats are trying to muscle the Pres. B. they're not so confident that they can pass a faux amnesty after all. or C. the libertraitors are too chicken to take responsibility for they're nations betrayal, perhaps the nations last betrayal.

They better remain uneasy and back off ! THE TRAITORS!

Seems to me Bush would have no pull with House Republicans. This idiot cost them 30 House seats, and will cost them more if amnesty passes!!

So true, he has caused so much damage on so many levels, it is outrageous! If Amnesty is passed it will cost us our country. How this idiot sleeps at night is beyond me.

Keep pouring on those letters, calls, an emails. Let them know that amnesty will be their political death. It's just like I said, the Democrats don't want to give up a shot at the White House. They love power more than illegal aliens.

George Bush led his own party off a cliff for crying out loud.

What happened last year with the GOP under his leadership helped me understand how much the president is willing to sacrifice in his headlong quest towards the Mexification of the entire United States.

The good Republicans still there are going to have some say in wether that happens again. Hopefully, by 2008 people will be more aware and vote for good people without regard for Party. Party doesn't mean what it used to.

Apparently he sleeps just fine. If the thought of thousands of young men and women getting maimed and killed half a world away has no effect on his conscience, the thought of betraying lowly peons like the American public means absolutely nothing to him. After all he lives behind a fence with armed secret service, he has his healthcare, retirement, etc. covered, and he never has to worry about his family getting their jobs stolen, getting killed by illegals driving drunk, getting raped, robbed or molested by illegals, so what does he care?
