So Bush is
This is just so over-the-top unconservative that it naturally reeks of attempting to win votes. Hey, George - if you want to win hearts and minds (something you've been doing so well in Iraq), spend some of that $170,000,000.00 in your campaign coffers on health care for their kids.
And here comes the "If a Democrat did this" part: Bush's neocon lapdogs would be screaming like kindergarten kids over illegal aliens "stealing our jobs." This has always been a load. I don't know one working wingnut who would have lawn mowing, house painting or hotel room cleaning as a fallback gig if they lost their job. One of the best lines I've ever heard on the subject is that immigrants aren't stealing our jobs - they're doing our jobs.
