No, the election is in November.

Following is a quote from the article:

By dangling the prospect of legal status to 8 million illegal immigrants now estimated to be in this country, about half of them Mexican, Bush was granting a top priority of the business community while making his most aggressive move yet to court Latino voters. He won just more than a third of that constituency in 2000 but wants to expand his support in the community to better his chances for re-election in November.

I think we need to start worrying about our own people first.

Bush is wanting the latino vote 1 in every 10 voters are latino, also this will get him a lot of votes and support from the people who own businesses that makes their money off the backs of illegal immigrants, nothing that I know of has been said about bettering their living conditions and wages but my guess is if its brought up it won't get any legislation backing it. Also did any of you hear that the Department of Labor has begun helping employers learn how to keep from paying their employees overtime. I heard this on one of the news programs, not sure which one, will try and find a link about it.

That doesn't surprise me.My husband works for the government and they were trying to pass a law where they wouldn't be paid for their overtime.I'm glad they didn't get that one passed because we live off of his overtime.
