I see, for one to be truly against illegal immigration, one must insist on 20 million deportations.
No, but when what you advocate is really just giving guest worker status to anyone that would have jumped the border anyway (or more) you cant claim to really be against the act, only against the prohibition. I wonder how many of the millions of new citizens from our left wing south will vote republican or what the republican party will have to adopt to win and keep those votes.
Excellent point. Neither do all anti nor all pro have the same motivation, same means, or same ends. Each side is a loose coaltion.
Fair is dominated by environmental pro-abortion wackos. But most of its supporters disagree with the people who pull their strings.
The Minutemen rejected racist wackos, who shared only one point of agreement with the Minutemen.
The same is true on the other side. Just in the GOP there are at least 5 separate and distinct groups of pro-immigration/open border advocates.
Historically, the GOP and its members have been all over the map on the issue. Unfortunately, the issue does not fit in a nice little box for any but the simple minded.
