BUSH BACKPEDALING ON AMNESTY?
At The Tar Pit, Sabertooth thinks President Bush may be backing down on amnesty. That speculation is based on Rep. Tom DeLay’s statement in this New York Times article:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 – Representative Tom DeLay of Texas, the House majority leader, said Tuesday that conservatives might be able to compromise with President Bush on his proposal allowing illegal immigrants to work in the United States legally.
Such a compromise could entail, for example, requiring illegal immigrants to return to their native countries to apply for the program, Mr. DeLay said.
Mr. DeLay said he talked recently with the president, who has advocated a guest worker program that would be open to workers who are currently in the country illegally as well as to newcomers.
“He doesn’t discount the notion, for instance, that you have to apply for it in your country of origin,” Mr. DeLay said of the president. “He thought that was a great idea.”
Lots of other good stuff at The Tar Pit, including this post about an effort by Sens. John McCain and Larry Craig to thwart Rep. James Sensenbrenner’s proposed legislation for federal standards for state drivers licenses.
