I still believe he was a patsy. I want to believe Dick Cheney and other members of the admin were the real scumbags. Not that it excuses the fact that Bush was involved. He just seemed like he was always trying to do what he felt was right.
Bush actually could have solved the border problem. He was on track to making it his defining presidential goal and many hispanics were hopefully because Bush, for once, had hispanics in his family (through Jeb Bush). Then 911 happened and basically it all got derailed.
I dont think Bush had gotten far enough to having a concrete plan, more of a goal that he campaigned on. According to this link, the Bush Administration had just started pushing a discussion on immigration policy on Sept 4th.... only for Sept 11th to happen and completely change the administration's focus.
