Ah....thanks...

What's there left to argue about? Billions will have been allocated to increase border security so Tancredo can't say we are turning our back or ignoring border security. (Remember his vote will be on record).

A guest worker program will be in the early stages of implementation so there won't be any arguments over whether Tancredo's or Cornyn's or McCain's guest worker plan should be enacted.

It will be as much of a dead issue as CAFTA is today. That's just fundamental politics. Timing is everything and DeLay/Rove have snookered Tancredo.

Tom DeLay for the PRESIDENT '2008 !!!!!!!!

[Black Tooth]

Agree. They are either getting the message, or trying to appease in an effort to keep the crowds and their pitchforks at home.

[EternalVigilance]

If you think it's that simple, and so easily disposed of, fine.

A little legislative sleight of hand, a few PR magic tricks and "PRESTO!!, Political Problem Solved"!

But folks like you vastly 'misunderestimate' the depth of this problem, IMO.

Carry on...

No, I realize that the issue will never go away for the Buchanan crowd, but that's less than 1/2 of one percent of the voters. Have you noticed how many fewer Buchanites are on FR today as compared to 2000 ? Did they lose interest, die, get removed from the contributor lists for nonpayment or just wake up?

They aren't much of a crowd, are they? And yet, you continue to obsessively fixate on them.

Late to the thread....THANK YOU and a DITTO on your Wow!

"She wants every gutter-level vote she can muster up"

Wow, makes her no different than any other politician.

"Billions will have been allocated to increase border security so"

To allocate $$$ and to actually spend $$$ are two different things. There are billions of unspent $$$ on Homeland Security. And no, this issue isn't going to simply go away.

[EternalVigilance]

It's right handy for you to broadbrush those who are concerned about the security of our borders, and the huge influx of illegals into our country, as 'Buchananites'.

But again, you just don't have a grip on the depth of the disatisfaction with the status quo.

Either that, or you're lying.

[johnny7]

This is hugh.

Lets hope he can get this moving!

I'm sending a donation to Delay and Tancredo right now

Immigration will be a dead issue long before the next elections.

Immigration is not the issue, it is ILLEGAL immigration.

Nice try.

Well it's only been almost FOUR FRIGGIN' YEARS since 9/11 and we've got one genius in DC who has FINALLY seen the light!
At this pace our great, great grandchildren might still be alive by the time they decide to secure the borders.
Only problem, by that time the border will be secured against all non-Spanish speaking people. LOL

Semper Fi,

I fully agree with your post. I stopped in Senator Brownback's office yesterday to chat with his staff about this issue. The feeling is we need two types of immigrant labor, cheap and intellectual. I am not against immigration, but it sure as hell needs to be the legal type.

[Condor51]

Just DAM!
Tom, you 'da man'.

This has been one of my ideas for a looooooog time. Cut off gubmint money to sanctuary cities and without it they can't give the illegals all the freebies which just enables them.

No money and pretty soon Juan the 'gardener' making $6.00 an hour for his family of seven who feed off the gubmint teat will be in their 'Cheby' heading BACK to México PDQ.

If this passes, which I hope to God it does, the population of Chicago will shrink to about 500,000. Because that's about how many U.S. citizens and LEGAL RESIDENT ALIENS are left there!

Hell, the Chicago Metro Area might even become livable again and we won't have to be afraid to drive after midnight less we get killed by some drunken 'hard working' illegal driving the WRONG freaking way on I-55.

[kellynla]

We don't need any illegal immigration labor. All the jobs that illegals are doing can be done by our young people who are citizens! PERIOD!

[GarySpFc]

I fully agree.

Wow, makes her no different than any other politician.

Well, yes and no.
She is a radical leftists, hell-bent ON POLITICAL POWER AND CONTROL which does differentiate her from others clearly. There are some politicians that still care about this country and saving it -- SHE DOES NOT.
