I don't think we can 'wait' until the day comes. Look how quickly Bush was to meet with Calderone after our loss. Republicans must unite NOW to defeat the OBL agenda, in spite of what Bush, the Dims and the rest who support the OBL, have planned. Shamnesty is just their next step.
What we need is one prominent, anti-illegal/OBL, 'Graf-type' Republican to bring all of the various groups together under one umbrella organization, with a single message to stop the OBL now! With the party so divided, whether they support Bush 'no matter what', and/or support the OBL agenda, Republicans who don't must unite so that action can be taken immediately to prevent this from happening. The bigger picture, national sovereignty, security and winning the WOT, is what is at stake, or we lose it all in our own backyards to a bipartisan OBL agenda.
"When the day comes, and unfortunately it will"
Well, looks like the day is today...and tomorrow...and the next day....etc... In other words, we should probably get crackin'.
What "prevailed" wrt the ports was the Party of Treason duped "conservatives" into undermining the president and a strong ally. Unmitigated stupidity.
It is hysterically funny to believe you will have ANY influence on the Party of Treason's plans now that it has no reason to use this issue to increase its power. You are kicked to the curb.
Illegals are significant only when they can be used to undermine the GOP.
