THE WASHINGTON TIMES
When House Republicans blocked the intelligence overhaul bill two weeks ago, some congressional Republicans say they were showing President Bush he will split the party if he goes ahead with his broader immigration-reform plan.
"It would cause a break in the party that would be extremely unhealthy for the party," said Rep. Tom Tancredo, Colorado Republican and chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus. "I can tell you right now, the feelings are deep. This is not a superficial argument with the president.
"We were all willing to shut up during the campaign. We were not going to attack the president. But the campaign is over with and the gloves are off on this issue," Mr. Tancredo said.
He echoed the sentiments of several Republicans who emerged from a House Republican Conference discussion Nov. 20 on the intelligence bill, which they insist include strict national standards to ensure illegal aliens don't acquire driver's licenses.

That's not only extremely true and dangerous, it's over the top extremely sad...

WoW...
The 'sane' positions based in truth and love, from the 'right', i.e.; PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND THE GOLDEN RULE - "used to be" the 'center'...
People still risk their lives to come here.
This is so true.....I stand up for Bush but I know others who are really mad about this immigration and are really ticked off at him........he won't do anything about it. Then they bring up this ATF Or AFF? Something about globilization that Bush is for. He will divide us if he doesn't start protecting our border.
Are you an American?
Tancredo! My kind of American, my kind of Republican! I voted twice for GW. Now is his time to act for us!..........
Damn right! I believe in freedom. Do you?
Mr.President: This is a very serious issue. Seal the borders, now. So many of us just don't understand why you will compromise on this.
And in addition, a whopping 30% of all people incarcerated in U.S. prisons are illegal aliens, costing taxpayers $1.6 billion/yr. Illegals comprise around 1/30 of the population of the United States and almost 1/3 of the prison pop (mostly for committing violent crimes).
We're authoring our own destruction, amigo.
But at least we get our cheap lettuce.
FTAA
Google it. It's a sovereignty-blowing-borderless-mind-blower.
But then, we could all be So Cal avocado farmers.../s
If the Republican Party splits, then you can call an end to conservative strength in this country. The United States will become just like Canada.
You have a cognitive dissonance going on...or schizophrenia.
You will be locking those tools up soon enough.

And, if we selectively choose not to play the fraudulent, un-Constitutional game of CHOOSING TO NOT FUND THE INSANITY, you can *BET YOUR ASS* the government *WILL* send the Revenuers out to enforce *THAT* 'law'...ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE A PRODUCTIVE *AMERICAN*! hehehehehaaaa
Hear, HEAR!
I guess it's gonna take a freaking, inevitable disaster of Americans being once again slaughtered - this time coming across our own un-secured borders - to have a sensible, Constitutional, fair solution FOR AMERICA...stupid SOBs.
