Well that one beats cock fighting why would a politician of one party and in particular the President ask a politician of another party their opinion.

I think I need a drink after that.

Hayworth debunks the 14th amendment issue on anchor babies. (Referencing his book.) Hayworth says many illegals would return home. Thinks we need to enforce first.

Back to Gutirrez who says if someone is here and a law-breaker (other than their illegal status, I presume) he would be the first to support deportation. Honest workers whould stay. "Who picks the tomatoes in Florida?{ he says.

Gutirrez is supporting a biometric card.

Russert says illegal immigration holds down wages (quoting NYT). Gutirrez says our labor department says we will create 500,000 low wage, low skill jobs per year. (Quoting the GOP Labor Department...interesting.)

Bonilla asked about the Mexican Flag waving. Bonilla says Americans are insulted, says if he went to Mexico and waved an American flag, he would be arrested.

Bonilla says he is sick of hearing from Mexican officials when they do NOTHING to help their own people.

Gutirrez compares it to Irish flags on St. Patrick's Day. Says it was visceral reaction to Sensenbrenner.

Russert quoting Hayworth's book and then quoting Gillespie's criticism of his views. (Stirring up the division in the GOP)

Hayworth disputes Gillespie's fears that GOP will be seen as the anti-Hispanic party. Hayworth says we make a mistake when we think that everyone with an Hispanic surname supports illegal immigration.

A little hyperbole hear on both sides, if you ask me. Full transcript will demonstrate the truth of my comment.)

Russert quoting Time, which has a study which shows that a majority of Americans support a fence but do not support mass deportation.

Bonilla quotes local Hispanic-American sheriffs who are crying out for border security. Bonilla says border first, then guest worker. Bonilla says he will accept a bill that does both IF there is demonstrable progress made on border security right now.

That whining thing from Kerry was really irritating. If it were not still morning here, I would be making a martini.

I cannot convey my contempt for that man. He is the worst combination of arrogance and pettishness, as well as the dangerous stupidity/opportunism I mentioned earlier. He is an awful person with no redeeming value to society.
