Bush prods GOP on immigration
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- During a rare meeting on Capitol Hill, President Bush pushed lawmakers Tuesday to move forward on immigration legislation that he said enforces U.S. borders and workplaces.

"This is a highly emotional issue," Bush said after a luncheon with Senate Republicans.

"Now's the time to get it done. It's going to take a lot of hard work, a lot of effort."

"I believe without the bill, it's going to be harder to enforce the border," Bush said. "The status quo is unacceptable." (Watch Bush press for passage )

Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said passing the bill is up to the Republicans, who "do not support their own president's bill."

FYI, I did not make up the headline.

Wonder if he remembered to turn it on, though ...

If the Repuke sheeple fall for this, they're TOAST in '08. (I check in on RW talk radio and they are apoplectic over this bill.)
