DeLay, like many in Congress, is on this psuedo "get tough on the illegals" position because he thinks it will help him raise money/get re-elected. The reality is that DeLay has held a powerful position in Congress in which he could have pushed appropriations needed to deal with deporting illegals.> WTF, DeLay has always had a "get tough on illegals" position, but Tom cannot do it by himself with the GOP being spineless on this issue.
>>>The reality is that DeLay has held a powerful position in Congress in which he could have pushed appropriations.
Again, Tom cannot do it by himself and DeLay sits on NO congressional committees, including the House Appropriation Committee. - fla

The poster you're responding to never has anything good to say about politicians and others who are working against illegal border-crossing. Every thread that deals with this subject that he shows up on, he's always trashing those who are making a genuine attempt to deal with the problem.

(If you favor any legal status for illegal aliens, then do not claim to be in favor of secure borders)
