And yet…the president announced in Omaha this morning:

When I get back to Washington I’m going to sign an executive order creating a task force on the new Americas [sic, from W.H. release–I won’t read too much into it]. This task force is going to be led by our Secretary of Homeland Security, Chertoff. It’s going to work to help people at the grass roots level expand the teaching of English and civics and history instruction programs, to help others assimilate into America.
