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.

The 'sane' positions based in truth and love, from the 'right', i.e.; PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND THE GOLDEN RULE - "used to be" the 'center'...

America is a country almost entirely populated with immigrants who yearned for the freedom that they did not have where they previously lived.

People still risk their lives to come here.

The ACLU is a terrorist, un-American organization whose evil at it's core knows few equals...they must be prosecuted under existing or modified RICO statutes and penalized to the fullest extent of the law.

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.

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.

Amen.

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.

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.

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.
