Bush touches these people in any way even verbally and it WILL hurt the party..
I suspect, "a hard rain is gonna fall"... on the vigilantes..

They are EXPOSING the administration in ways,
the administration does not want to be exposed..

Don't look good for the party..
If Bush EVER caved, nows the time for caving.. to the vilgilantes.. Two choices, cave to Vigils or cave to FOX, any other stance will be seen as caving to FOX by stealth.. Hillery must be rubbing her hands with glee over this.. Democrats are no doubt behind the scenes pressureing Bush to come down on the Vigils..

Their crazy but they ain't stupid..
Would take some extra big brass balls for Bush to close the Mexican border..
I don't think Bush HAZEM... but that is what it would take..

Bush and all Republicans who aren't tough on illegal immigration are already starting too hurt the party. Republicans are going to start splitting if the leadership doesn't take a tougher stance on illegal immigration. I will never again vote for anyone who doesn't take this problem serious and/or doesn't come up with an effective immigration policy that doesn't involve amnesty.
