MY THOUGHTS SO FAR: Bush is right to stress assimilation. That should have been the cornerstone of the speech.

UPDATE: Reportedly, Lou Dobbs liked it.

Here's liveblogging by Colin Pedicini.

ANOTHER UPDATE: My prediction: Over the next few weeks, lots of back-and-forth with Congress (this is an opening bid), ending with no guest worker program and with a slightly-less-open amnesty path to citizenship.

Sampling the punditry on TV, the reception isn't too bad, considering.
