"Family values do not stop at the Rio Grande River"

George W. Bush is having his year-end press conference right now and it is clear that immigration reform is something the guy is serious about. He is able to speak about the issue in sharp, concise terms and seems unfazed by the prospect of criticism from the anti-immigration lobby.

Bush faces an uphill battle in pushing through any kind of guest worker program, but it is a fight worth having.

That and he is standing behind Rumsfeld, folks.
