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.

You'll make it. Try not to be swayed by the OBL (Open Borders Lobby) types who like to troll these kind of threads and try to obfuscate and distort the message. One can support Bush on other issues but he needs to be opposed fiercely on this one though. His Guest Worker proposal is not good for America no matter how the OBL types try to paint it. This is not about immigration but rather an illegal invasion by a foreign nation.
So let's start doing something about it.
This is the wrong issue on which Bush should waste political capital.
Have to wait 4 years, at least 3 1/2.
Tandcredo is fiercely loyal to American representation.
One big happy family ~ Bump!
Bush could have found a pro-life hispanic judge to nominate I'm sure. Gonzalez is also pro-affirmative action. I don't see much that qualifies him as a conservative except is for the death penalty.
I would rather have a good pro-life judge to go to a higher court where they can make a bigger difference. A AG just enforces the laws.

If you feel as strongly about this as I do, then you will agree that there's no time like the present to get started. I believe that GWB will continue doing a great job on national defense and the war, but, as we all know, we also need to start shifting some resources to beefing up our border security. How do we do this?
An A.G. also determines to a large extent which laws get enforced and which ones to just wink at.
Yes, but that is on a onesy and twosy basis. A judge can make interpretations that impacts millions and lasts for decades.
"I can tell you right now, the feelings are deep. This is not a superficial argument with the president."
Oh, so he takes hispandering more seriously than keeping the lives of hundreds of thousands safe? How can one be serious about the War on Terror without being serious about safe borders and terrorists caught with multiple drivers' licenses?
Thanks. I should have read it more closely, I didn't realize that. He was the only one who talked about immigration and borders, and that was what decided my vote. I didn't like the choices of the two parties.
Neither did I Janet. I hated having to vote for Bush. I voted CP the previous two elections.
