<<But, I suspect Bush pushes for the illegals because >>

IMO, you forgot, 3. Because he wants to keep wages low by having a large supply of cheap labor available. (class warfare again) You choose to ignore the class warfare angle but it is not ignored by others.

You take him at face value. I can understand that. Many people take politicians at face value. But if you look at what he does as opposed to what he says in his rhetoric, it is clear where his loyalties are. The owning class and the religious right. That's his base, and that's who he is extremely loyal to the interests of. I understand your respect for someone who can stand on principle. I just wish the principles he stood for were different.

Your charactarization of "harming people by law" kind of says it all in reference to the issue of regulation. You will most likely see any and all regulation as "harming people by law", whether it is a strip miner who wants to dump their waste in the public's streams or an energy company who wants to pollute because it is cheaper than upgrading it's factory so it won't rain chemicals on all the people downwind.
