I'm curious if the dems will pay for this as I'm sure many of their constituents are starting to look at the situation as dire. I'm sure this next mid-term election will focus on this.
Illegal immigration seems to be an issue with a very clear "critical mass" of public awareness - above which it's an extremely motivating issue for Republicans, below which it can be effectively demagogued by accusations of "racist!" by Democrats.
Look at what happened to Pete Wilson. On the other hand, the various propositions in the people's republic of California limiting imigrant abuses were *overwhelmingly* approved by voters, even though then struck down by leftist judges.
The communist left is doing conservatives, and especially Republicans, a (huge) favor with their jingoist, foreign-flag waving in your face anger and anarchy. The longer the "reconquistas" drive the agenda, the quicker the American people will swing en mass, against their Che Guevera type socialist mob nitwit mentality.
The Minutemen need a lot of support, right now.
They might, this amnesty really insults and hurts the working poor, unskilled and skilled labor most. Right now it's got a GOP label attached to it, if that can be changed to a D label then they will feel the heat too. As has been pointed out many time this is not a D vrs R issue. This is an us (usa) vrs elitest globalist rich.
A local newscast in the DFW area last night had a reporter on the border with the MM Project and she stated that there are several Latinos joining the Minutemen as well as several Democrats.
