You know, the reason this issue wasn't embraced by either side is pretty clear. It's because focus groups could not make clear what was the winning position. More specifically, what was the winning position in battlegrounds of the midwest.

Public opinion surveys consistantly show that Americans overwelmingly support stricter border controls.
Entrenched Republicrat politicians arrogantly ignore this fact to pander to their more extremist factions.

• The 'Rats want open borders to expand their base of "oppressed" minorities.
• The GOP wants a cheap and dumbed-down labor force.

"The 'Rats want open borders to expand their base of "oppressed" minorities."

There was an article which came out a couple weeks ago. Basically, Mexico's largest export is poverty. There are stories coming out in the mass media about how the nation's "poverty problem" hasn't gotten any better and is in fact getting worse.

But the fact is, most of this nation's poverty hasn't been here all that long.

It's just ironic that the liberals claim that we have a poverty problem when they support policies which import more of it.

It's even more ironic when RINOs go along with it.
