Here's a hint: The rabble in the street isn't going to vote GOP in any circumstances.

California was already socialist by the time Wilson backed 187. They had already voted for Clinton in 1992.

Here's a hint: The rabble in the street isn't going to vote GOP in any circumstances.

One need only look at the hispanic rich border counties in Texas- SOLID BLUE.

This issue is becoming an additional litmus test for whether a GOP candidate is worthy of my vote along with the abortion issue.

Pro-life + No amnesty/No Guestworker/Seal the border is the only GOP candidate that will get my vote.

No matter what, the Dems are going to run to the left of the Republicans on this issue and demagogue it into the ground. Bush already is being made out as the "bad guy" among many hispanics even though he's more liberal than most of the party on this.

As for the illegals voting, that's obviously not the concern. But many hispanic citizens -- legal voters -- see themselves as having cultural ties with the illegals, and basically vote as if they are illegals themselves. So that's how an "anti-illegal" stance can hurt at the polls. But the thing is that we've already lost that vote, and aren't going to get it back. The Dems have that ground, and won't give it back.

So if its votes that matter, the smart thing to do is run in the other direction. Not necessarily being punitive, but at least clearly being more restrictive than the Dems. There's really no downside.

Well, that settles it. Time to deport in mass right now.

Yep. If the GOP wants to outbid the Democrats for the Pedro vote by offering lavish entitlement benefits, it will deserve to lose its majority. We don't need TWO socialist parties in this country.

If immigration laws were enforced there wouldn't be a growing hispanic community. As far as I'm concerned this is an admission that illegals vote.

[sergeantdave]

So republicans don't want to alienate 12 million illegals but are willing to p*ss off 60 million republican voters.

No wonder we're in trouble. These morons can't even do simple math.
