I agree completely about it not being the end if it is not solved this year or even during Bush's term. In fact I would prefer that it not be solved if it means the solution is that they are granted any type of amnesty and a shot at becoming citizens.
That being said I think it would send a message to the GOP to pick one traitorous RINO senator (DeWine) and kick his butt out of office while maintaining the majority.
I realize that doesn't support your position but he has hurt the party far more than he's helped it in my opinion.
People can say what they want about McCain but the guy is at least honest about what he is. DeWine is just the opposite.
Ohio's senior senator has gone rogue.
One or two (DeWine and McCain) gone would be fine by me as long as we can gain other seats to make up for them. But that's one heck of a gamble. Best try for a primary challenge.
I agree. Amnesty and rewards is no "solution". But no one on Free Republic is expecting the illegal immigration issue to be solved during Bush's term. I mean, it should have been following 9/11, but Bush did not step up to the plate and it is too late for him to make any real positive progress on the issue. So, what we're trying to avoid now is letting him make the problem MUCH worse which he seems hell bent to do. The McKennedy bill that he wanted passed or any other form of amnesty would make the problem far worse. We have to fight and fight hard to make sure that doesn't happen.
