House conservatives yesterday issued a dire warning to President Bush and Republican leadership that they will pay a devastating political price if they proceed with a guest-worker program or anything resembling amnesty for illegal aliens before securing the borders and enforcing existing immigration laws.
"They will remember in November," Rep. J.D. Hayworth, Arizona Republican, said of voters nationwide. "And many of those who have stood with our Republican majority in the last decade are not only angry, many of them plan to be absent from the polls" this year when the entire House and one-third of the Senate is up for re-election.

We are being asked to accept the lesser of two evils without an explanation of what the greater evil is.
OK, I'd thought of this myself.
Anti-globalist Sarcasm Torpedo ARMED. FIRE!!
So let's release the unredacted Barrett report to blow (ha!) his political cover, then indict, try, and shoot Bill & Hillary for treason in the matter of high tech & nuke secrets to China.
I will not actively contribute to my beloved country's demise by voting for pro-illegal Republicans ever again.
Check out my vanity and its link to the White House, which sounds like something right out of the Trilateral Commission nutcases propagana.
Absent from the polls?? It would take a lot to keep me from the polls.
As long as the Republicans keep federal spending to a minimum and behave responsibly on matters like border enforcement, I'll be at the polls. They can't ask for more than that.
It makes sense, who pays for something you can get for free?
I agree. One more aspect of the wierd blindness of the Administration on the issue of who we are. France doesn't want Poles taking jobs? Great. Let us have 'em.
Thank you, we aim to please :-)
Perhaps you've forgotten the reputation that members of the Ivory Tower have garnered for themselves...with regards to practical and working solutions to real problems...
For that matter, an strong atmosphere of leftism and multiculturalism pervades (too many) Universities...it is very difficult to keep all such pernicious influences out of one's thought processes...
Cheers!
Are you suggesting that the political and cultural climate in the 80's is the same as today?
Do you assume that Reagan would do the same thing today as he did in the 80's? Hindsight is 20/20 (for some, anyway).
Reagan screwed up. Too bad Bush doesn't realise that and learn from Reagan's mistake.
..or maybe, "The Great Antagonizer".
George Bush, John McCain, I assume Dick Cheney, at least a dozen GOP conservative senators, the Wall Stree Journal editorial page, and various other conservatives all support some kind of guest worker program. Yet none of them work in academia.
You jump to too many conclusions about the relationship between my thinking process and my career.
And how many people no longer call themselves Republican?
I'm going to take a wild shot in the dark and guess that of those who left the party, Bush's approval number is about 0%.
I really believe that if Reagan were around today and was of sound mind, that he would support President Bush's position on this.
Can this Nation survive another two or three years of this kind of betrayal, I think, not very likely!
I've heard mention border inforcement dropped since Bush came into office. That means you-know-who was better.
I wish that weren't true, but I can't say it's implausible.
Right. Bush is the anti-christ..determined to send the USA to Hell.
Are you trying to make me laugh on purpose or what?
The Vichy Republicans are going to get to go home and get one of those jobs that american don't want to do.
I doubt this very much. Unless of course conservatives are determined to bring on and even more "dire" consequences by helping liberals get elected.
How childish.
IT WAS SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN calling on behalf of their constituents!!!!!
Who were they calling? There's your perpetrator, at the other end of the line.
Whats the difference between Miami and Cancun?
They speak English in Cancun.
