A guest-worker program -- including one that provides incentives for illegal immigrants to come out of the shadows -- is a good idea, but a politically injured one. Those who'd like to save it would do well to start by seriously tackling immigration enforcement, without dismissing those who demand as much as racist crackpot vigilantes.

Well I can see this guy is biased, and dismiss this liberal crackpot OBL whiner.

Lawmakers in Washington are taking this political signal very seriously. Before the election, Bob Novak reported that the sense among Republicans on Capitol Hill was that "a strong showing by Gilchrist -- anything above 20 to 25 percent" would doom the guest-worker program favored by President Bush.

My thanks to those with the guts to vote for Gilchrist. Conservatives may save the Republican Party from itself yet.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

Many Americans are rightly horrified by this country's inability unwillingness to enforce its immigration laws, and Gilchrist's strong showing is a symptom of the mood.

That sounds like a better description of the problem.

>>Last spring President Bush dismissed them as "vigilantes" (though they've broken no laws), but he and his political allies ought to take a second look at the Minutemen and their works.<<



Mr.President
Protecting our homes, families and jobs is not vigilantism.

Campbell needed absentee ballots to put him over the top.

Lol! Makes it sound as if voting absentee is something less than voting in person. Third place is exactly where a third party candidate belongs, especially a nutter like Gilchrist.

Jim Gilchrist/Minutemen BUMP.

Close the border, build an Israeli-type fence, fine employers of illegals, deport illegals, restrict legal immigration, and return peace and security to our nation.

Truly frightening. Bound to keep me awake all night.

Those who'd like to save [a Guest Worker Program] would do well to start by seriously tackling immigration enforcement, without dismissing those who demand as much as racist crackpot vigilantes.

Yeah, but they don't have any credible arguments to use, so name calling is all they've got.
