Carter Backs Bush on Immigration

(Via Yahoo News)

ATLANTA - Former president Carter, a Democrat and frequent critic of President Bush, sees eye-to-eye with him on immigration.

Carter on Wednesday called the Republican president's commitment to immigration reform "quite admirable," saying he agrees with Bush's support of a system that would eventually grant citizenship to some illegals. [....]

The law should secure the nation's borders while "at the same time treating those who are here with respect and giving them some hope for the future," Carter said.

If I could tell the president one thing right now, it would be this:

When the same fellow that trashes you at a funeral starts praising you regarding your stance on immigration, it's time to do a 180. The warning signs don't get any clearer nor the flags any redder than this.
