Tommy · Answer 2

The answer is A) His approach faced objection from all sides and could not garner enough support for passage. Bush's proposals were rejected by several factors: First) The lack of support and resistance that he faced from not only the Democratic Party but also from within his party because they perceived the projects as measures that were going to reward illegal immigrants. Second) While the reforms offered a different set of opportunities, representatives of the immigrant community saw the focus of the measures as very narrow because it put a lot of importance on family ties. Third) Some labor unions saw the assortment of plans and options of the reforms that will result in a wave of cheap migrant labor, one that they claimed took labor jobs from US citizens.
