In conjunction with remarks on border security and immigration reform, Bush will speak at a $1,000-a-plate dinner for Sen. John Kyl of Arizona, at the Biltmore Resort and Spa in Phoenix. After an overnight stay in Phoenix, he will visit the U.S. Border Patrol Headquarters in El Paso, Tex., then jet to Denver for a $1,000-a-plate luncheon for two-term Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, whose tough district...
