FINALLY RESOLVED, The Republican National Committee calls upon the Congress to pass and the President to sign a bill enacting laws to secure our borders and end employment of illegal aliens in the workplace at the earliest possible opportunity and to immediately commence enforcement.

Respectfully submitted,

Maybe they'll put the anti-illegal immigration plank back in the Republican Party's platform.

[The Mayor]

They want the government to do something about employers who hire illegal workers. I believe that's essentially where the Republican Party is,

Ah, Yes for quite some time now, where the hell have you been for all these years?

[mr_hammer]

They hung up on me when I told them "not another dime" till the border situation is taken care of!

[showme_the_Glory]

"It's pretty clear where the American public is on this issue -- they want the border fixed.

Illegal = Illegal. Now, go enforce the law. Period

[Rockitz]

I sent this article to Rush and hope he'll get the word out to the conservative faithful.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Preliminary machinations are a great way for politicos to get credit for appearing to "do something" when in fact they know nothing will change.

John Wooden said it best: "do not mistake motion for progress."
