I mean absolutely no disrespect to our President, but I'm more fearful he or Karl Rove will ignorantly think his re-election is, somehow, a people's mandate in favor of his asinine amnesty not-to-be-called-amnesty plan.
I don't think he believes there is a mandate for amnesty --- it's just that whose interests are going to win out --- the Mexican elite could be quickly run out of power if immigration were slowed down in any way --- and our government doesn't want any big changes taking place with the power structure in Mexico. Right now, our leaders figure we have to keep them propped up --- no matter what the costs are to Americans.
