Puleeeeze. Tom Tancredo is one of the very few people who have come out stridently against illegal aliens. He is marginalized almost to a man by every Republican holding national office.
The President has come out in support of converting illegal immigrants into guest workers. He has advocated making it easier for them to become citizens at some point. He has advocated letting in MORE Mexican nationals. He has advocated loosening our immigration process so still more immigrants from the world over can come here.
Now you want to blame the democrats for being the worst? Tell me what could be worse than these people continuing to get free healthcare, free education and free welfare?
No! The Democrats are not worse. We could pass solid legislation to end this travesty if we wanted to. Our side doesn't. That is a national disgrace.
It's obvious you're fired up about this and we have a different POV, so I won't take this too much further before it heats up and I get zapped by a kitty.
I don't think the guest worker program is akin to amnesty and I think the dems' position is worse. Since we have to choose between two options, I'll take the GOP, which isn't as bad. The alternative, not voting, voting 3rd party, or voting dem would make the situation worse, let alone the other pressing issues.
The same argument you're making could be made about the deficit. Neither justify ignoring the dems' outrageous behavior. IMHO.
How do we hold our side accountable without empowering the dems? I think this question better expresses my position.
