'The Devil Went Down to Georgia'

Bush Promotes New Immigration Plan.
Peter Baker / The Washington Post:
GLYNCO, Ga. -- President Bush took to the road today to promote a bipartisan plan to overhaul immigration laws, assailing conservative critics he said were trying to scare the American public and accusing them of not reading the bill. Appearing at a federal center where border patrol officers are trained, Bush rejected the contention of opponents that the legislation provides amnesty for illegal immigrants and assured Americans that his government is working hard to control the borders. He repeatedly called on lawmakers to "show courage" by backing the plan, the most significant domestic initiative left on his agenda.
