Bush on Immigration From Yuma

President Bush (here) will relaunch his push for an overhaul of the nation’s immigration laws today in Arizona, with a fresh speech on the border and a new congressional leadership that is friendlier to his views, but with the same dynamics that scuttled his last attempt: a cooperative Senate but bipartisan opposition in the House. In his speech in Yuma, Bush will stress four elements that he has to see in an immigration bill: more border security; better enforcement of immigration laws in the interior, especially laws against the hiring of undocumented workers; a temporary-worker program to address labor shortages; and “resolving without amnesty and without animosity the status of the millions of illegal immigrants that are here right now,” White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said.
