The problem is, the Republicans are willing to have a civil discourse about immigration (most of us, anyway). I'm hardline on deporting illegals, but all for expanding legal immigration.

Then we see half a million illegal aliens shutting down the streets of Los Angeles with impunity, carrying Mexican flags, burning American flags, and carrying signs proclaiming that this is THEIR country and how they're going to take it back. And THAT is what throws "civil discourse" out the window. I'm not interested in having a "civil discourse" with somebody who's proclaiming that he's going to take over my country and throw me out.

Governor Bush needs to be telling MALDEF and La Raza and the Aztlan freaks to stuff it long before he needs to talk to the Tom Tancredos and Jim Gilchrists of the world.

Thank you, coherently stated and right on target.
