"This is a defining moment for the Republican Party," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who supports the Senate bill, said over the weekend. "If our answer to the fastest-growing demographic in this country is that 'We want to make felons of your grandparents, and we want to put people in jail who are helping your neighbors and people related to you,' then we're going to suffer mightily."

My wife is a native-born citizen of hispanic ancestry. She voted for Bush twice.

And she says we need to throw the illegals out. And she no longer support's Bush's agenda because of his pandering to the illegal immigration interests.

The GOP is going to suffer mightily, Graham. But for the exact opposite reasons you are stating. If you keep illegals ILLEGAL, they won't be able to friggin' vote - and the native-born and legally-entered hispanic population of this country will largely support that. But betray the base, and there will be woe for the GOP.

What you really mean is that you will gladly give a joyful victory to the Democrats to prove a selfish point.

Then we can enjoy the results as we watch two solid years of impeachment hearings, higher taxes and socialist indoctrination. And you could care less.

I totally agree with your post. Well stated.
