The bush immigration plan?

This entry was posted in bush Immigration on by

A lot of folks have been unhappy about bush’s immigration plan. Some folks on the left think it does not open things enough and some on the right think he’s opening the borders like a sieve. Perhaps, though, this is just diversion.,
The true bush administration policy may be the consequence of many other administration actions and ultimately reverse the flow of people across US borders. Really, who would want to come to a regime every bit as oppressive as communism.

In a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black the latest bush-bheney ad hominem campaign video reaches a new low. This is pretty much killfile material.
For some thoughts on the usefulness of invoking this particular meme see here and here.
Update (6/25): PZ Myers is puzzled by the message the campaign is trying to send and suggests some possibilities.
Update (6/28): The bushies have revised the video with some explanatory comments on the front end. Via The Sideshow.

Campaign Finance

James Joyner in commenting on this request that Kerry resign his senate seat says:

Candidates running for higher office while still holding their current one always face this problem, although Kerry does seem to be carrying the absentee bit further than most. His Senate salary, while modest in the context of the Heinz fortune, amounts to an undeclared taxpayer donation to his campaign since he has essentially been paid to run for president. My preference would be for all candidates seeking election to an office other than the one they currently hold to do so as private citizens.
This “undeclared taxpayer donation” is a true pittance compared to the much more egregious undeclared taxpayer donation to the bush campaign. I suspect that a single Air Force One campaign trip would pay kerry’s salary many time over.
Fairness suggests that both candidates should clearly account for time at work and at campaign and repay the taxpayer out of their campaign funds. This should be the practice for all office holders running for a higher office.
If the president is mixing state business (real or alleged) and campaig activities on the same trip he should not get to charge it all to the taxpayers.
Update (6/17): Sorry, I left off the link to James’ post.

But there is an election coming up. If George W. Bush loses it, things may still be OK.

I’d have much more confidence in this if congress were moving the impeachment process rapidly along.
