Is this what it's all about?

Do we know? Think about it.

1. not sure what you mean by that...
but I was thinking that all these immigrants trying to stay here
Bush's guest worker program
Our military broken
Senators wanted to bring in amendments to the immigration bill they were trying to pass
Homeland Security has a document called "the end game" where it talks about rounding up immigrants

Maybe Bush's guest worker program is actually the new military

2. I've got news for Bush. Latinos now despise the Republicans.
The thirty-something percent of their vote that Bush got has evaporated. And the historically low-turnout at the polls by Latinos is going to explode in November.

I've seen signs in the crowd saying "George Bush Doesn't Like Brown People". Republicans are really in for it, I think. And it seems to me that elections can't be stolen when pre-election polls indicate a landslide or heavy favorite, and especially if exit polls back that up. I think it's going to be that kind of year.

3. Earned legalization
Which is the exact opposite of Bush's revolving door guest worker program. They do not want to come to the US and work until they're used up or have skills, only to be kicked out to make room for another batch of exploitable workers. Earned legalization and the right to organize for labor rights is the only sensible way to protect ALL workers' rights. That's what they want.
