Here on Earth, the Republicans won't be replaced by anyone who's stronger on immigration Lucky for us that they won't be replaced by anybody that is weaker on immigration either.Yeah, those democrats are no better than the Republicans on immigration. Yep, the dems are exactly the same, and in fact they'll be so much better on the issue when they gain control of the House and Senate.
Saying Bush had used race and gay rights to divide the electorate, Dean said, "In 2006, it's going to be immigration; that's who he's going to scapegoat next." He said Democrats must favor tougher enforcement of existing immigration laws and provide tighter border security, but said a balanced immigration policy would provide a way to give many of the 11 million illegal immigrants a path to legal status."

You go right ahead and vote for a party whose chairman calls Bush's weak immigration stance "scapegoating" of immigrants. That's SO much better than the Republicans' stance.
