"The Republicans that are tough on immigration are doing well right now."Notice that the important word illegal somehow never gets tacked on to the front of "immigration". I don't think anybody out there is particularly opposed to legal immigration, but that's not the type of immigration making the headlines. The liberal version of immigration is "Get in by any means necessary, and immediately start blaming Bush. Can't think of something to blame him for? Just show up at the rally, and we'll supply the signs."

Well said ... why cant the MSM use the right word? "Illegal"...
Still, its a shocking revelation for NYT to make, who'd just as soon call anyone against amnesty some kind of racist bigot, etc.

The lefties have won half the battle. We're now complaining about their omission of the adjective "illegal" before the noun "immigrant." Not long ago the phrase in common usage was "illegal alien." By calling illegal aliens immigrants they've softened the crime in two ways.

David Kirkpatrick, the conservative beat writer from the New York Times (yes, they have one - conservatism is like New Jersey to the New York Times - "far" across a river and separated from the NYC life), uses the phrase "illegal immigration" four times in the article, and "illegal immigrants" ten times.

Notice that the important word illegal somehow never gets tacked on to the front of "immigration". As a LEGAL immigrant, that bothers me considerably. What I worry about is that the Republicans may take this literally and crack down hard on legal immigrants and still ignore the illegals, just as past immigration reform has done.
