"But there are just too many mexicans here now to send them back. We lost that battle 20 years ago and nobody noticed. All we can do is figure out how to make the best of it now, and getting mad won't fix anything."

That attitude is defeatism AND a lie. They got themselves here. If we cut off their jobs and entitlements, most will go right back home.

That attitude is defeatism

That attitude is realistic. I've heard this anti-illegal argument for decades now, and there are more of them here than ever.

The battle is against liberals, who would love to balkanize these folks and keep them socialist. Vs. making independent conservative americans of them.

Truth be told, I'd love it if they went home. But it just won't happen.

Watch and see.

In the mean time, we'd best make the best of the situation, which is what Bush has been talking about on this issue since he ran for office in 2000.
