Bush Vows Immigration Bill Will be Signed
Monday, June 11th, 2007President Bush has promised to push the amnesty bill through the legislature and sign it…no matter what.
I hope he and the rest of the Republican leadership realizes just how much this will cost them. Not necessarily in dollars (although that will also be high), but in support from their base. The damage this legislation will do to the Republicans will be felt for years.
SOFIA, Bulgaria - President Bush, turning from adulation in the Balkans to difficulties back home, said Monday that his stalled immigration overhaul would be revived and his embattled attorney general would not fall under a Senate vote of no-confidence.
“I believe we can get it done,” Bush said of the immigration bill that has run into deep trouble on Capitol Hill. “I’ll see you at the bill signing.”
Warmly welcomed in both Bulgaria and Albania, the president spoke at a news conference with Bulgarian President Georgi Parvanov on the last stop of his eight-day trip in Europe. Bush said he would make a trip to Capitol Hill on Tuesday to lobby lawmakers in person on immigration.
