GWBush biggest proponent of illegal aliens: The possibility of amnesty fashioned by a George W. Bush Executive Order.

Evil things are brewing. Bush has fought for amnesty since his first day in office. He has been thwarted at every turn. But when someone as obstinate as Bush is denied what he most wants, don’t expect him to roll over. Remember how badly he wanted his Iraqi war.

Will Bush play his Executive Order trump card to get what he so desperately yearns for? Will Bush, in a cut-and-run move at the end of his term, ignore the Constitution and grant amnesty to millions?

What does Bush care about the Constitution anyway?

Plenty of signs indicate that Bush might sign an Executive Order…and that he thinks he can get away with it.

Review his record of signing statements wherein Bush has ignored entire sections of legislation including provisions that were negotiated with Congress. [ Bush Challenges Hundreds of Laws, By Charlie Savage, Boston Globe, April 30, 2006]

Conveniently for Bush, he can claim that an Executive Order for illegal aliens strengthens national security.

Taking his cue from La Raza, Bush could maintain that America during the War on Terror is best served when all its residents are known and identifiable. A green card, a valid social security card and ultimately citizenship, Bush would argue, are the key steps to maximizing our protections against our enemies.

Bush has already said as much in his nationally televised (and nationally ignored) May 6th speech about immigration:

"Once here, illegal immigrants live in the shadows of our society. Many use forged documents to get jobs, and that makes it difficult for employers to verify that the workers they hire are legal."
