Did it occur to you that if the REPUBLICAN party allowed them the Guest worker programs, they MIGHT just vote Republican. Are you forgetting that many of them are Conservative Catholics? Or that 57% of Latinos voted GOP in 2004?
Do we go for votes or a secure country?
Your numbers are wrong - the real numbers are in the mid to high 30s.
And btw, guest workers can't vote.
Southern blacks are religious too and they vote overwhelmingly for a pro-abortion party.
Did it occur to you that if the REPUBLICAN party allowed them the Guest worker programs, many who voted REPUBLICAN last time round might just stay home?
The President is all for an amnesty program and yet many of the illegal protesters a few weeks back carried anti-Bush signs. These are NOT future Republicans.
These people are poor, uneducated, and willing to break the law to get what they want. That screams Democrat to me.
