The congress and MSM have succeeded (in much of the public's perception)in characterizing this as an immigration problem when it's an illegal worker/illegal alien invasion problem. The predominantly Mexican flags early on proved that's what it is. But by the congress, the president, and the MSM distorting the nature of the problem, any suggestion that would actually be effective at stemming the illegal alien tide, such as a high tech fence, is automatically considered too draconian for the noble immigrants to come, since that's how illegals are now to be characterized. And by the way, what does amnesty for the 12 million (and who knows how many really are here?)already here have to do with securing the border? That seems to have been lost in the shell game. Oh, yes, I forgot, a few more border patrol persons. That settles the border concerns. (sarc) I guess to the congress, the MSM, and the POTUS, the one-step remedy to the illegal alien/migrant problem is allow all here to become legal, wait for the ongoing wave of illegals (which only will increase with the amnesty) to build to the millions again, and repeat step one.

Will the "real" GOP please stand up and be counted so we out in "fly over country" (read: red states) know whether or not to bother going to the polls.

As it stands right now, there is no one that I can vote for to represent me in the House and probably none in the Senate. They all seem interested in representing the 4% of working illegals.

[processing please hold]

What's the percentage of Hispanics (legal) in the US? IIRC, in 2000 was about 12%.
white 81.7%,
black 12.9%
, Asian 4.2%
, Amerindian and Alaska native 1%
, native Hawaiian and other Pacific islander 0.2%
(2003 est.) note: a separate listing for Hispanic is not included because the US Census Bureau considers Hispanic to mean a person of Latin American descent (including persons of Cuban, Mexican, or Puerto Rican origin) living in the US who may be of any race or ethnic group (white, black, Asian, etc.)

Data from http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/us.html

Now the question they need to ask themselves is, which pillar are they gonna pi$$ off?

actually not LOL, you clearly didnt read the article.


if Hispanics become the new "blacks" and vote 90-10 DEM, there will never be another GOP or conservative President again..ever....the USA will come to look like Canada with conservatives getting at best 35% of the vote...Canada has a Conservative PM today only because the left splits its vote.


National Review had an excellent article in 2000 predicting that 2004 would be the last election the GOP would win. If the races voted from 2004 and beyond the way they voted in 1988, the GOP would find itself in a ever deeping electoral hole and state after state slipped away from the GOP (GHW Bush got 58% of the white vote in 1988)

So much so that by 2050 even nixon's 62-38 1972 victory would be a 48-52 LOSS

That's about where the article lost credibility.
