Its like this. Most Dems welcome illegals because they think they can pander to the Hispanic Community here and get their votes later when they become legal - or use them illegally now as voters - Democrats can get a vote out of a dead civil war veteran.

Most Repubs who support illegals do so because they are hoping to cash in on the Hispanic vote AND to please rich business interests who want cheap foreign labor.

Tancredo gets hammered by Dems and Repubs on this issue.

Thats not why I support Bush. Its recognizing a problem that doesn't have a quick term - "PRACTICAL" - solution. It gets the decent ones registered and paying taxes. It moves the issue forward instead of ignoring it and hoping it'll go away.

Don't get me wrong - I have no problem with Tancredo. I just don't understand why so many people seem to think he is the opposit of Bush on immigration, when his own proposal is substatially similar to the Bush proposal.

The only thing that matters in an election is how the voters feel about Tancredo.

Some of us just don't hate people that want to live here.
