I didn't mean to belittle your plight living so close to the point of conflict. My only point is, we can achieve our goals without abandoning the party or empowering the opposition.
Your insight can only help bring about a solution if we all stick together. President Bush is a good man, we must continue to open his eyes to the problem without alienating us who demand change from the party.
You would be surprised at how many Mexicans I see in Pennsylvania and Maryland. The all the illegals don't stay in Arizona after crossing the border, they are everywhere.
I was at a gas station yesterday and a whole van full pulled in trying to get gas and something to drink, they couldn't even communicate with the clerk to make payment.
I believe in Free Republic and those like it who push the agenda of the conservative voice. Change will happen but to those already emotionally stressed about the issues it will not seem fast enough. Keep the faith and don't give up or they win.
Again, my apologizes to you FRiend.

Wow - what a nice response. I didn't feel belittled by you, just ...what's the right word? frustrated, I guess, by the decades of more of the same. And you're right - when one wants change NOW, it's hard to hear to just wait and watch it happen slowly. But the change is in the right direction - 10 years ago, nobody even spoke of the illegal immigration problems. Rush has been vocal about it - and hopefully that will have an effect on TPTB.
I think I expected more of President Bush because of the awesome job he's done on everything else. I know he did campaign on his guest worker program, but I was hoping he was joking and couldn't possibly be series! But, he's a man of his word, in all things.
So, what do you recommend to get the RNC's attention? I know the MMP is doing a fantastic job of it, but what else can a lone individual do (the force of one)? Withholding my vote and banging my head against the wall is all I can think of tonight....
