WASHINGTON, May 12 ? President Bush will use a television address on Monday night to offer new proposals to spur passage of legislation that could put millions of illegal immigrants on the path to American citizenship, the White House said today.
Mr. Bush will speak from the Oval Office beginning at 8 p.m. Eastern time and is expected to propose new enforcement measures along the United States’ border with Mexico, including the use of additional troops.
