So - by your reasoning - all these negative comments, totally hundreds now counting all the Pence Plan threads to date, are all from Tancredo Robots, and Paleoconservatives and other misfits as you would see them?

Pretty much. FR is made up of 20,000 active members or so, and less than one-tenth of one percent post on the immigration threads. These are the ardent anti-immigrant posters (and, yes, most of them are anti-immigrant, not just anti-illegal immigrant).

They, and you, are not representative of the country at large, nor are you representative of the Republican Party. National security is the number one issue in the upcoming election, not immigration. That is what the Republicans will be re-elected on, in both the House and the Senate, not immigration.

You and I are not going to agree on this issue. I respect your position, and your ardent defense of your position. But we're not going to convince each other.

Thanks for the back-and-forth.

If it's such a fringe issue, why have you spent so much time on immigration threads?
