Yes, many "Democrats" are opposed to immigration for the reasons you mention...and crime, the load on public services. However, the dem pols are no more responsive to their concerns that the GOP pols have been to ours recently.

That said, I believe the ship in DC is SLOWLY changing course and their own internal polling shows they're on the road to destruction. Only the FAR left and the country-club Republicans support legalization. Pretty much everyone else is opposed...and that's beginning to settle in in DC.

The dems won't get their new voters (amnesty), the CC pubs won't get a HUGE guest worker program and we'll get our wall.

that's my prediction.

I'd appreciate your take on the questions I posed in post #73. FWIW I will be faxing my Senators and Rep tonight re: no amnesty and the fence (I've already called them a couple of times). Hope everyone else is planning on doing the same instead of just griping...

Problem is, the big $$$$ lies among the Country Club Republicans, who tend to be conservative economically but less so socially...
