This is what I said about Obamacare. The policy/law/legislation trumps immediate electoral gain because once the policy is in place, it never goes away, but Dems can always win another election when Republicans fail to repeal this stuff.
But they sent Elian Gonzales back to Cuba. Everything that the left does is aimed at realignment of the entire demographic and political make up of the US. Further, this is more proof that the left have no ethical barriers that prevent them from using children for political purposes - and they should be called out on this loudly.
Why didn't the parents of these children apply for entry into the US? Why would anyone let children travel illegally and endure all the associated dangers - with some dying, when there are alternatives. Why would a U.S. President encourage children to risk death, when there were and are clear alternatives? That question needs to be asked of Obama, and this whole mess needs to become their public relations nightmare.
