Oh, it can. A teensy shift in Florida or Ohio would have given us a President Kerry. There is no downside for der Hildebeast to be saying this, and considerable upside. Many folks pulled the lever or punched the chad for Bush not so much because they supported him but because they didn't like Kerry, didn't think he was speaking to them. Illegal immigration is just the sort of topic to resonate with a lot of folks.
This can work, people. The GOP is vulnerable on this topic... and deserves to be. It's not too late, but the clock is ticking, and Hillary smells blood.

Many of the "swing states" are being deluged with illegals, including Florida, Nevada, New Mexico, Virginia, and Colorado.
And, if she's really smart, she'll put Bill Richardson on the ticket, and neutralize any criticism in the Latino community. Many Latinos are very anti-illegal, but she needs to reinforce the message that her platform is anti-illegal and not anti-Latino.

It resonated with me. I am sick of this nonsense with all these illegals and cringe when I hear about GWB and the Admn. talking about the Syrian border while ignoring our own.
