Luis wrote that to someone else.

You don't think that the issue is created by the left?

Who, pray tell, is more responsible for the entitlement programs that draw the illegal aliens to the US?

Actually, the issue is created by people like you. People who have absolutely no loyalty to the United States.

Luis, you made this clear claim:
"The illegal alien issue is created by the left so that the Buchanan right defects from the GOP."

I asked you to provde evidence of this. You haven't yet.

Instead, your reply contained no statements of fact, but presented two questions for me.

I will answer your questions briefly now, but in return I ask that you back up your claim with evidence or withdraw it.

Answers to your questions:
1) No, I don't think the 'illegal alien issue' is created by the left with the purpose of seperating Buchanan followers from the GOP.

I have followed this issue since the mid-80s when Buchanan was simply a former employee of GOP administrations and a journalist. Illegal immigration was an issue here in Southern California then.

But I don't need to disprove your claim since you've offered ZERO evidence for it. Support your claim and I'll address it in more detail.

2) Democrats have been growing entitlement programs here in the USA at a great rate since the 1930s.

Several architects and advisers to FDR on these programs were 'fellow travelers' or sympathizers with the world socialist movements.

The Johnson administration added a great deal of entitlement programs as well, and the programs grew and expanded through R and D administrations as well.

If you have a clear set of evidence to offer as to how these entitlement programs were initiated to CREATE a wedge issue about illegal immigration to seperate mainstream Republicans from the "Buchanan Right," I will certainly give your argument thought.
