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.

Ah yes, anyone who disagrees with you is a troll. And you have the nerve to imply that I'm liberal after employing a tactic like that? Mirrors are cheap.
The local L.A news, KTLA.
Sure is shaping up that way.
How can Dubya be so strong internationally yet a wet noodle domestically?
If the local L.A news was actually reporting it, we can ONLY imagine how bad it really was.
I concur.
I read right here on FR, that we would "hold his feet to the fire" after he got in.
Let's see what happens.
You're right...
ONLY Dubya's "family members" is the ENTIRE country of Mexico.
The amusing thing here is that you're suggesting that I go back to DU and I'm the one who's supporting the REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT who's universally hated at DU. Now really, which one of us belongs at DU? Hmmmmmmmmmm.
Out of curiosity, do you ever move past the name calling?
Here on FR it's around a 25/75 split, with the 25% agreeing (for the most part) with the DUers.
Heh. ......first Mexico, then central and So. America.
The question is why couldn't these employers find employees.
If the answer is these crumby jobs only pay $4.00 an hour with no health or retirement benefits, then we don't need these stinking jobs here.
These jobs don't pay enough for a person to support a family of 4 or 5.
Who do you think has to support all of these deadbeat, illegal immigrant families that can't afford to feed, house, clothe, educate or pay for medical care for themselves?
The rest of us U.S. Taxpayers do, that's who!
Why do you think this boneheaded administration is on it's way to borrowing our federal government, a record, $1.5 to $2 Trillion dollars further into debt in just 8 years?
A public school education costs $14,000 per child, per year in some major American cities.
If Juan and Maria are both working $4.00 an hour jobs and have 5 kids, they'll bleed $75,000 in education dollars, thousands in medical, food, housing and clothing subsidies from the U.S. Taxpayers and receive a $5,000 Earned Income Tax Credit Check in addition to whatever income tax they paid that year.
These 3rd world leeches are bleeding our country dry.
I also recall reading many who were convinced that after Bush's re-election he'd finally be able to govern like a true conservative (rather than merely a "compassionate" one), especially if the GOP picked up a few congressional seats.
Har.
(Yanks just unloaded Lofton and Heredia, btw. ....and picked up Stanton).
We must stand tall against what W has in mind for us, our children and grandchildren!
