Bush Tells Immigrant Graduates to Solve Immigration Problem

Because Bush cannot seek re-election in 2008, he feels no great pressure to remain perfectly aligned with conservative ideology, resulting in Bush proposing an extensive illegal immigrant amnesty worker program that he predicted would pass with a Democratic majority. However, enough Republicans held the conservative line and voted against Bush’s program to prevent passage. It logically follows that because the veto can be used only to maintain the status quo and not change policy, Bush will attempt to perform external lobbying by further shaping public opinion on the immigration issue. Of particular note is that Bush spoke to what may be the single largest group of conservative immigrant graduates in the nation (though it was only 1,500) to suggest how they might apply their American education to solve America’s immigration problem. It is notable that Bush went to a border state to select the university because Miami Dade has a large proportion working-class minorities who value family and faith, the latter of which is one of the most effective applications of sophistry in terms of convincing others that your opinion is right. My apologies to any religious folks…But Miami Dade College graduates on average have precisely the ideal qualities that Bush wants the American public believe that most illegal immigrants possess, despite entering the country ILLEGALLY! My apologies to any illegal immigrants who might be reading this…Nothing personal, but I have to take a stance on this.
