again in the short-term, i think it's similar to what happened in california 16 years ago when pete wilsondopted an anti-immigration stance. he was running -- actually behind in the polls at one point. it helped him a great deal, and then it hurt -- it hurt republicans in this case in the decade and a half since then. i suspect that will be the case this time. did the president have any alternative not to speak out and to -- you know, have the -- have the attorney general file suit? >> stuart can address the legal issues much better than i can. politically i think he had no choice but to do that. he's promised some kind of major immigration overhaul. he hasn't been able to deliver on that. and i think to remain silent in this would have been politically unacceptable to his base. >> i think the logic of his suing is implicit in the nature of the complaint. it's preempted by federal law. it conflicts with federal law. it will inevitably, says the justice department, says the president, cause problems for federal law. if you believe that, it makes sense to try and stop it at the inception. i

as a veteran of california politics, you know that pete wilson is there a concern this could hurt the republicans? guest: first of all, the politics of it is played up so much. the trouble is, when we are talking about this issue, what are we going to leave for our grandchildren? everyone is trying to be too smart on this issue. it is good for politics and the country if we stand up for enroll all law. fairness is fairness. -- the rule of law. it is a basic concept that any one of our parents would have with our children. i think both parties should be faulted for the fact that they played politics with this issue. s toot find justification t avoid doing a common-sense thing. host: president bush put forth a plan that would allow a path to citizenship. did you support that idea? guest: i was born and raised on the border. i was a county supervisor and saw what happened with amnesty. the president might have been in chicago. to another program that says those who are illegally in the country will be accommodated with a special program -- that would be the biggest mistake. it is one thi
