Bumiller can’t even get history correct in Bush-on-immigration suckup

In her story about how W. just looves those “south of the border” people, New York Times reporter Elizabeth Bumiller says:

Mr. Bush was also living in a state that has stronger historical and cultural ties to Mexico than any other.

Uhh, wrong.

The Spanish, coming up from Mexico, settle New Mexico a full century before Texas.

Besides, as, Salon reports, Jose Canseco remembers a W. as owner of the Texas stRangers who wasn’t quite so glad-handing.
