As many have pointed out before, Bush was the head of the party.
Which, as I pointed out, doesnt mean he represents the preferences of the entire party, just as Blowboy doesnt represent the rational Dems. I gave you the facts, now stfu. Your post was asinine snark without any basis and you know it.
Actually, the only blowboy here is you.
Having said that, I said Bush is the last one who pushed the amnesty. He isnt the only one.
Reagan in the 80's.
Chris Cannon who was denied renomination by a GOP convention for supporting amnesty.
In an effort to break an impasse on a pending immigration bill, Senate Republicans offered a proposal Wednesday that would allow many illegal immigrants now in the United States to eventually gain legal status.
Just last week, former Attorney General Ed Meese and Senators Jim DeMint (R.-S.C.) and Jeff Sessions (R.-Ala.) unveiled the essential principles for immigration reform. One of those principles is respect for the rule of law, which conservatives fear will be violated by any potential agreement that includes amnesty.�It�s unlikely that any deal will be cut that will satisfy conservatives,� said Brian Darling, a congressional analyst at the Heritage Foundation. �Any legislation containing �Z� visas is a non-starter because a �Z� visa is an amnesty visa.�(2008)
The GOP leadership, worried that the bill's provisions will frighten away corporate support from the party, refused to allow a vote on a widely popular amendment to deny automatic citizenship to babies born on U.S. soil to illegal aliens. Known as "anchor babies," the automatic citizenship granted them usually means that the illegal parents will not be deported. As result, the U.S. is often the destination of choice for many pregnant Mexican women.
"It's an incredible magnet for illegal immigration," said Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-CO.
Border area hospitals report alarmingly high births to illegals. At just one hospital, Fort Worth's John Peter Smith Hospital in Texas, more than 73 percent of 5,775 deliveries in 2005 were the children of illegal aliens, said hospital spokeswoman Drenda Witt.
Officials at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas were quoted in the Dallas Morning News saying that about 80 percent of some 16,000 women who gave birth there qualified for taxpayer-supported Medicaid funding for illegal aliens.
The amendment to deny automatic citizenship was sponsored by Rep. Nathan Deal, R-GA, and had at least 80 cosponsors from 26 states, but was not brought up for a vote.

So please, do us all a favor and dont lie anymore. Its becoming boring and tedious. The GOP is a party of "no". The GOP has sponsored many amnesty bills. The GOP has then refused to allow those bills to come up for vote, or voted them down. Its a game to them.
