Yet again, your side omits the key word "illegal" here. We are not anti-immigration. We are anti-illegal-immigration. And the omission is deliberate, an effort to paint the other side as xenophobic, nativist and even bigoted. In other words, the tactics of Jesse Jackson.
I reiterate.....Rove was ostensibly addressing a La Raza audience but he was actually lobbing trite warning phrases to anti-immigrationists as well as anti-illegal immigrationists (as you correctly added to my thought).
My main point was that Rove is a combination stalking horse, red herring and lightning rod for his boss's policies and not the 100% powerful "l'eminence grise" people think he is. I believe the President originated his own personal shamnesty policy and Rove has, does and will go along with it.
Yet Rove is the center of attention with many folks on this thread. Evidence that the "lightning rod" political ploy utilized to deflect criticism from presidents continues to be effective.
