Conservatives Split in Debate on Curbing Illegal Immigration
"Rancor over illegal immigration has become a staple on conservative blogs and talk radio, with much of the wrath directed at Bush... The immigration debate pits one core GOP constituency (law-and-order conservatives) against another (business interests that rely on immigrant labor). One camp wants to tighten borders and deport people who are here illegally; the other seeks to bring illegal workers out of the shadows and acknowledge their growing economic importance."
The Washington Times, still the only ones focused on this aspect: "President Bush yesterday said he opposes a civilian project to monitor illegal aliens crossing the border, characterizing them as 'vigilantes.' He said he would pressure Congress to further loosen immigration law."
