Bush's obvious ploy to trick Mexican-American voters.
It's SO obvious it's almost pathetic. Sure he has a relationship with Mexico. Fox is a big ex Coca COla exectuive and Mexico itself is partly a big energy company. So they're buds. This is his only foreign policy experience. I believe the Bush idea to give 2 million illegals citizenship is a ploy. He knows it will never pass so he is safe in suggesting it, hoping to cut into that fast-growing voter block and make himself look sympathetic to the working poor even when his policies nix the poor. Trouble is this and every other thing Bush is pushing now just smacks of another self-serving ploy. What does this have to do with solving our economic problems? Maybe it helps some big ranchers and growers along the border but it will not do squat otherwise. What has he done on the economy? Besides the tax cuts which now have to be pared way-way down, Bush has done absolutely nothing of a positive nature for the economy and it's even doubtful whether the tax cut will have any beneficial effect. It might even have a net negative effect, although it's simply a transfer of money from government to people, primarily rich people, so hopefully they spend it. Much better however would be to have a sound fiscally conservative economic policy which helps troubled sectors the most, is forward-looking and doesn't drive us back into Reagan sized debt.
