George W. Bush: “Immigration is a tough issue for a lot of Americans.”

Today, we remember your loss, we share your sorrow and we honor the men and women that you have loved so long and so well.

We are grateful to the first responders and volunteers who are working to find the missing and comfort the grieving at Camp Mystic and along the Guadalupe.

The American economy has consistently proven its strength and resilience in the face of shocks such as natural disasters, high energy prices, and the terrorist attacks of September 11.

Seldom has history offered a greater opportunity to do so much for so many.
