Snow on the Road

While President Bush is in Europe next week for G8 meetings and several other stops, Press Secretary Tony Snow will remain stateside to talk to conservatives about the immigration bill backed by the president.

Snow said his exact schedule remains a work in progress, but he will head out from Washington to speak at several events and on radio shows around the country.

The goal, Snow said, is to “lower the temperature, get people to step back” and take a comprehensive look at what Bush is pitching as comprehensive immigration reform.

Some conservatives believe the bill offers amnesty to illegal immigrants. The White House says there’s no amnesty in the bill, just a process that could lead to citizenship for illegal immigrants who pay fines and meet several conditions.
