Dems today support open borders and multilateralism. Republicans support tighter border controls (at least of illegals) and national sovereignty.

Tho slightly better on sovereignty, the Republicans are equally pushing open borders and all forms of immigration. The Dems have their own reasons, but the Republicans want to please their business donors. They are equally complicite in the sell out of our citizenry. Both groups support the H1B and L class visas. Both groups ignore the fact that 730,000 American workers are displaced every year by illegal aliens. Both groups have no problem expecting the taxpayer to subsidize their cheap labor. It's nearing crisis proportions.

Thank God for those who are active in opposing their actions. The only thing holding them in any sort of check is our anger and activism.

Now that it's election time, the pols are flapping lips...but actions speak louder than words and people will be watching. I for one will not vote for anyone supporting the business as usual position.

Are you serious? Equal to the Democrats on open borders? No -way-.

While I absolutely agree that Republicans and Bush should do -more- to close the borders, fact is, they don't come close to Democrat's complete sellout on the issue. Look at California - both Davis and Bustamante (endorsed by a zillion Democrats) push for licenses for illegal aliens. Both Arnold and McClintock (endorsed by a zillion Republicans) opposed it.

I can understand (and agree) with your feeling that Republicans aren't going far enough in this area. But saying they're just as bad as Democrats on the issue? Not even close. Republicans at least aren't making things -worse-... and it was conservatives who called attention to the Visa Express program of the State Dept., among other serious issues. And it is conservatives, I believe, that are currently testing UAV's to patrol the borders to stop illegal immigrants.

Nah. I definetly think it's becoming more and more of a partisan issue. But (for the 3rd time) I will again agree that the Republican Party is not far enough to the Right on this issue.
