When Bush was elected to his first term, the one thing I was excited about was the possible progress to be made regarding Mexican (and Latino in general) immigrants in the US. However 9-11 put these issues on the backburner, as patrols tightened the borders to address the terrorist issue. I'm from Houston, where almost all the service jobs are held by Latinos (the majority are illegal), so I have been very interested in immigration. It appears that recently the immigration issue has been taken up again by Bush, as he has promoted a guest-worker program. Interestingly however, two main groups that have supported Bush, businesses/corporations and the conservatives, don't agree on this issue, and his own party has expressed opposition to the program. It will be interesting to see how things work out in the next few months. Read more about the issue here
