For one, Gilchrist is essentially saying to the Hildebeast to "put up or shut up."
Second, if she does appear, this should embarass congressional Republicans to be crawling all over themselves to come down to show that they're more on top of this issue than the Hildebeast.
This is great, put your money where your mouth is.
I've said this before: She's going to throw the abortionists and the weak-national-defenders off the platform before 2006. It's going to happen, and only she can do it.
Conservatives have left the border issue open like a weak flank, they are spending like trophy wives with no prenup, they are not going to challenge closed shop laws, and they are going to cave on filibustering judicial nominees and social security reform.
2006 may end up really sucking for conservatives if this all comes to pass.
Isn't her husband the one who gave amnisty to millions? Suddenly she's AGAINST illegal immigration? What does that mean, that she'll just wave a wand and make them all legal?
Hitlery TALKS the big game---but she's prtty short on action.
I know of a LOT of conservative NY'er that wrote her poilte, but clear letters about illegals---they never got an answer.
Now, all of a sudden, she's the DEVOTED and SWORN enemy of ILLEGALS.
Oh, brother..........
Hopefully this will prompt Prez. Bush to take some proactive steps on the border issue. It will also net Hillary some votes, but her 2006 campaign is already a shoo-in anyway so it's worth the trade-off.
Bump for later use.
Great Idea
Lock Hillary in on her border security comments and pressure republicans to get to the right of her.

Idjits. Hellary is "against" illegal immigrants because she actually wants to legalize them all and up our quota for the Middle East. But she's crafty...
We do need to revise our quotas. We obviously need more low-skilled workers here, whether guest workers or people on the citizenship track, and Latin America is a good place to get them. (However, they should be Latin Americans, and not Saudis, Iraqis, Yemenis and the other miscellaneous folks streaming across the southern border.) Canada was a sieve, and the only documented security threats to us actually came through Canada, but Canada was at least willing to tighten up and cooperate. Mexico has been completely uncooperative and should be punished severely, which is the only solution to this problem..
We have got to make Mexico reinforce the border from its side. I think the "Minutemen" are being allowed to operate (because believe me, our law could stop them if it wanted to) as a threat to the Mexican government. The US, officially, cannot set up border posts, walls or any of the other things some people are clamoring for - imagine the press, and of course the judges would knock it down immediately.
But this is a wild card, and that's why Mexico is a little taken aback. Hillary, on the other hand, has simply found somebody (idjit nativists) to bamboozle, and they're flocking to drink the Kool-Aid. Dumbos.
Do it!!!!!! Shake up the Republican dinosaurs. DO IT!!!!!!
Come on down!!!
