It is factually incorrect to say that we have "open borders". You may be of the opinion that we should budget more taxpayer dollars to border security, but to say that we have "open borders" is simply untrue.

As long as they get rid of the provisions requiring our driver's license to become a de-facto National ID and not require states to join the Driver License Agreement (requires states to assess points for out of state/Canadian/Mexican traffic violations) which is Section 3050 to 3059.

I think the nation has shifted to the right some since Clinton got us a Republican Congress and Senate.

Though I agree there are problems with liberal indoctrination in schools, we hear more conservatives kids are being heard of than I can remember in a long time.

Illegal immigration sucks, but even American Latinos for the most part are greatly against illegal aliens.

I agree with Rush in part and disagree with him in part.

I agree Bush's insanity on immigration is driven entirely by business interests. This nonsense of family values not stopping at the border is simply mumbo-jumbo.

And I agree too that the subject of immigration has been effectively removed from constructive talk among Republicans, but I have no idea whether it's the Neo-Con pundits or what's driving that removal. Interested in your thoughts.

Well duh. The handwriting has been on the wall for the last 8-10 years. Rove & Co. know it but, nevertheless, I'm glad to see that Limbaugh is talking about it.

The key is to remove the very small but vocal racists from the Republican party so that Hispanics don't perceive us to be their enemies.

Sorry to be the one to say this but.......

Hispanics sort of want to take over no matter who is in charge. Greater Aztlan is not a fiment of your imagination.

I don't buy the notion that the Republic party is doomed to not win a national election.

I don't either. All we have to do is become more like the Democrat party, which we're doing. I can't say that I like it, though.

"If every election we have to write off New York"

Rush : Did you forget Rudy?

You really should have paid attention to the GOP Convention speakers.

I'd say that this is about 4 years late.

I would like to see the hispanic vote broken down to who the Cubans voted for, the Mexicans voted for , the Porto Ricans, the Phillipinos voted for and ect. voted for. They should not lump all hispanics together.

So Rush is finally getting it? Is Rush actually letting people talk about this?

Agree. I am a second-generation Italian-American. All of my mother's and father's siblings were Democrats. All of my five brothers and sisters are Republicans. It doesn't take long folks. Unless you assume the brainwashed will either stay that way forever (some groups do) or are just stupid (most aren't).

That's the irony isn't it? The Republicans are providing the rope with which to hang themselves. Come on in third world poverty stricken potential Democrat voters. Not to mention forget the rule of law.

Ok, fine, I am of the opinion that we should budget massive amounts of additional money to border control. OK?

I don't either & I don't buy into the notion that the Dims have a lock on the Hispanic vote.

This is perhaps the most important piece of socio-political analysis I've read in a long time. I live in California and have worked as an INS lawyer and seen what's happening. This state has already become a Third World country. At this point I honestly don't know if those states still less affected, where these demographic changes are just beginning (most of the South, Rocky Mountains except Colorado, perhaps New England) will have the foresight and desire to limit the change and preserve their integrity. If so, folks who want to live in a more traditional America will need to relocate to one of these places and try to focus on their personal/local lives. Problem is, the federal government Moloch will still be omnipresent. The only other alternative is another country like Australia that seems, at least under the Howard government, determined to prevent drastic change in national identity. Believe me folks, Rush is right - the long-term picture is not good.

The problem is with illegals getting access to public funds and that Federal law says we have to pay illegals for their children's education while they are here.

That federal law needs to change. Let them teach their kids in Mexico or elsewhere at their own expense.

Also, Bush is not a good in debates because he doesn't step on the oponent when he should.
Whether that is intentional or not, the results still usually are that nice guys finish last.

Had be been better in the last debate, I agree this election would be up for him by 9 points right now instead of 3-5 points.
