It can't be a good sign for a White House hoping to maintain control of Congress next November when its one-time allies lump in the president with two of their perpetual bogeymen: John McCain and Ted Kennedy.

Bush's decision to use his State of the Union address to reiterate his support for a guest worker program -- despite objections from the right -- infuriated this crowd, who applauded talk of building a wall along the Mexican border and wore red stickers reading, ''STOP GUEST WORKER AMNESTY."

Representative Tom Tancredo, the Colorado Republican famous for his calls to stop illegal immigration, lashed out at another critical Republican constituency involved in the issue: the business community.
