Here's a hint: The rabble in the street isn't going to vote GOP in any circumstances.
------
The lame Repubs in Washington do not get it. Even today. Of course, the last things we should expect from Washington is a vote that represents WHAT IS RIGHT for the American people -- only right for VOTES. That is what this cesspool issue is all about now. VOTES. And, as usual, all at the expense of the American taxpaying CITIZEN.
All of it is moot anyway, if the pro-illegal traitors in the Congress do not CLOSE THE BORDER. That is priority one with any plan. But we continue to hear the weasel-word "ENFORCEMENT" way too much. Which means we are not going to do anything -- just let the flow of illegals continue...so how many will see amnesty in say, 2010 ??? We should have about 30-35 million by then, with the present flow rate, and the obscene birthrate...
It has not yet come to realization in Washington that a well intentioned amnesty for 2.7 million in 1989 by President Reagan leading to 8-12 million today, continuing the status quo without reinforcing and enforcing our Immigration Code and sealing the border, another well intentioned amnesty for 8-12 million will lead to a minimum ADDITIONAL 40 million, with a potential of 144 million in the very near future.
Then again, maybe it has.
At any rate, it ought be required employers who need "guest workers" apply through the US Labor Department or through Immigration after having posted a $5000 cash bond and, much as sponsors of legal immigrants are required to do, be required to file an affidavit of support for that laborer.
The Hispanics who are most likely to be attracted to the Republican party are those who share Republican ideas about taxes, self-reliance, and moral issues — and who are not inclined to evaluate politics primarily from the standpoint of the interests of their ethnic group. They are also more likely to vote Republican the more they have assimilated. Adding more than a million new Hispanic immigrants to their neighborhoods every year will not help.
They haven't for a long time now. Perhaps this November when many of us are anywhere but the polling booths they might begin to get the message.
