That's one reason his approval rating is so low: The conservatives Republicans want to throw out all these workers, but Bush is from Texas and knows it's impossible. As for breaking down doors to find undocumented workers: it is now getting into the headlines but is nothing new. When I was a small town doc, our potato plant would almost have to shut down when someone would tip them off there would be a raid..and that was in the 1980's. And in the 1990's, under Clinton, when my youngest lost his license for "Driving while Hispanic", he used his brother's license. Unfortunatly, his brother had returned to his birth country and no longer had a green card, so "La Migra" put him in jail..took us two weeks to get him out. He was upset, since he had friends in Washington DC at the time, and the going rate for a fake "green card" was only 120 dollars... If the press bothered to have immigrants on their staff, they'd know this... Actually, Bush is for an amenesty for undocumented workers. That’s one reason his approval rating is so low: The conservatives Republicans want to throw out all these workers, but Bush is from Texas and knows it’s impossible.
