I respectfully disagree now. During the election cycle, we had lots like Todd who bashed Bush all the time and whatnot but not it has devolved into many Bush supporters like me and Travis McGee and others who supported Bush are now arguing with folks who are either open borders, want the "Founding Majority" diminished here for a variety of reasons or they simply don't want criticism of Bush period. There is also a pro-Migra gang here advocating the economic benfits of it due to the lack of native procreation.
This thing has grown far beyond the old days of Bush bashers leading the anti-immigration charge. This forum always morphs on issues...remember once upon a time when the main schism was tween Libertarians and Conservatives...that almost seems quaint now.
I think many...actually most here...have reacted negatively against W's migra overtures. All the Pubbies I speak to here in Marsha Blackburn's district are not too keen on what they fear will become amnesty and will open the doors for the continuing tidal wave.
Just my opinion...we did have a poll here some time back where only 7% advocated amnesty and open borders (I think)
PS: When I got papers for my ex-wife....Brasilian ....I got nothing but grief and spent 5K to get her through the tourist-temporary-resident hoops after marriage and two children. There is no sympathy for peckerwoods at INS.
So, obviously, those who have been shown the door have been expunged for something other than simply their opposition to Bush's immigration policies. Maybe I wasn't clear in my earlier, but what I was trying to say was that people who have banned, for the most part, were not banned because of their views on immigration. That's not my observation.
My assessment as well.
