Kid yourself all you want. Cite all the figures you want. Immigration reduction lost at the polls. NOT in the way the Junk Media means it as causing the lost but in the sense of losing any ability to influence outcomes in DC.

The ONLY people who stood tall on Immigration, the US House GOP, got fired. It was their major issue and they got canned. So the now the Angry about Immigration have NO one one their side in DC. That is just fact.

All the angry denials in the world will not change that fact

Oh BS. The Reps DIDN'T stand tall on immigration, they tried to play the base for fools by authorizing a fence they never intended to build. And it cost them.

Get your head out, and deal with it yourself. It's on of the things thats going to keep costing the Reps until they get serious. If we are going to watch liberal practices in Washington, we can damn see to it's the Democrats doing it because we will keep the Reps at home until they convince us they are serious. The sad thing is I think we are going to have to sit out one more election to prove we mean business.

Oh, Johnnie,Johnnie,Johnnie, you just can't help yourself can you? Graf and a couple others lost because people like you and the DNC supported their opponent!

Tancredo won, Duncan Hunter won and so did a bunch of others as did my rep who only sent out campaign ad on IMMIGRATION enforcement. All the dems ran against illegal immigration that won. Why do you think all those dems voted for the fence just before the election- duh!!! so they'd get voted for!

We have some very important information for you below. There is a ton of misinformation in the media, both by liberals (e.g. Pelosi) and neocons (e.g. Bill Kristol, Linda Chavez). They are being dishonest about the election and immigration. Every single exit poll shows that voters voted against Republicans in this election because (1) the war in Iraq (2) corruption and (3) (in some states) free trade

It had nothing to do with immigration. In fact, if the GOP had been more anti-immigration and did not have a President who cares more about amnesty than hard-working Americans, the GOP would have done better.

Of the Republicans who lost in this election: only 6.7% of those losing were anti-immigration (in Tancredo's caucus)

34.9 % of those who lost, however, were pro-Amnesty and supported Bush's pro-Amnesty plan. (These people received a grade of D or lower on their Immigration Report Cards)
