If you can't admit the possibility that the left is using this issue to divide Republicans,

Miss M, President Bush could put a stop to this division tonight by removing his call for a guest worker program until at least next year. The Dems don't need to use this to divide the party - Bush is doing the work for them.

Do me a favor. Go back and check when your first post about illegal immigration was. Now I know that there were occasional discussions about it on FR, but for goodness sake, Bush campaigned about this in both 2000 and 2004 and there was hardly a peep here!

So why has this become such an all-out war on FR and within the party? Why can't we discuss the solution rationally? Slogans are fine, but "enforcing the law" isn't really the solution, considering the stupid laws Clinton passed.

I think that if we don't get a handle on this, things are going to get worse, particularly if the Marxist wind the Mexican election in July. Rather than finding fault with each other, can we not discuss the solutions without everyone going off the deep end?

For example, if tonight the President calls for first securing the border and then a guest worker program next year, how many will simply say "too late, he won't enforce it, he doesn't mean it, etc?"
