OK..got it!
I repeat my assertion above...I think it is ironic that immigration reform will be attempted to be sold partly as a Christian compassion issue.
It is ironic because socially conservative Jews and Christians (including Catholics and blacks) were among the key crossover groups that put Bush back into the White House. Now their belief structure will be a wedge issue dividing them.

President Bush said he had political capital to spend and guess what - he ALREADY SPENT IT - on the Border!
Christians marshalled behind him in historical numbers not seen in over a hundred years - and for WHAT?
The political capital being spent now is being spent at the expense of the GOP for at least another twenty years.
Guess who your next president will be?

No.
Read my earlier post. "Compassion" isn't working for the OBL types any better than it worked for Mondale. Do not cast your pearls before swine. Do not let your Christian charity be exploited. It is NOT splitting evangelicals.
