I know at least a half dozen people who have told me that if Bush does not start deporting illegal immigrants en masse - and lock down the border by using the military and not just some "fence" that they can easily scale or tunnel under - they will not show up to vote in November.
It'll be just like in 1994 when we stared down the Democratic party. The libs didn't get what they wanted, even though they controlled Congress and the White House, and we showed up in force and wiped them out. It'll be the same thing reversed if Bush doesn't get serious with the border, and drop this amnesty-lite. No one is swallowing this.
Sure, those nuts are out there.
But they are not strong enough in numbers to make a difference in November. Even so, they will be blunted by moderates and independents who will appreciate reform.
