For every thousand base voters Bush alienates he's picking up at least ten illegal votes. While it's hard to understand that logic, it must make sense to GWB/Rove.
Why can't we secure our borders right NOW?
Because Bush doesn't really want too..that's why.

He wishes. The illegal vote goes to Democrats, because they are the ones who overwhelmingly vote for government welfare benefits to illegals, and who provide cultural cover for illegals through their steady drone of 'multi-cultural' propaganda that gets tattoed onto the foreheads of liberals, dupes and students from coast to coast. At best, Republicans may get 25% of the votes of LEGAL aliens. Bush is the worst thing for the Republican Party since Nixon, though for different reasons.
