I've been watching this issue from out here in the sticks of Kansas for years, and during the last round of "Immigration Protest" the Kansas Dems finally figured out that this is the one issue that they could use to upset our traditional Red-State pre-disposition.
for example, the state dems are hammering Law & Order/Border Security

Isn't it strange that in this election cycle Democrats have decided to be the party of Law&Order?
Meanwhile our Republicans here are talking about being a welcoming and loving nation that embraces all, despite their legal status!
WTF?
Watch how this issue plays out in Red States over the course of this summer and you'll see the end of a Republican Congress...
TOO many GOP senators permit MSM to scare them.
Exactly and the first thing that Bush and the Democrat congress will do is grant amnesty to the illegals. That will lock the Democrats into power for at least a generation.
I don't think that many realize how big the stakes are. Bringing up some temporary tax cut 4 years ago or the war in Iraq isn't going to save the republicans this year.
Give amnesty to the illegals and states like Georgia and Florida go Blue immediately.
