Waaaayy past time.
I see Neil Cavuto declaring the immigration issue dead again this morning. I wonder why these people feel a need to keep declaring a dead issue dead?
Seems to me that they wouldn't need to talk about a dead issue.

PRESCOTT -- Prescott police on Sunday arrested three men and a juvenile, all Mexican nationals, on suspicion of rioting charges stemming from the Oct. 28 stabbing death of Prescott resident Daniel Cook.
Cook, 22, died at the Yavapai Regional Medical Center from a stab wound to his chest he received during the clash with a group of Hispanic men at a hotel's parking lot on Gurley Street.
Cook's brother, Lance, 24, received a knife cut to his arm. The fight concluded with the Hispanics leaving on foot and since then police have been trying to identify not only the suspect, but also the witnesses.
Sgt. Ken Morley said the department is not releasing the names of the arrested individuals because the suspect is still at large. However, the police believe that they now know who the suspect is, Morley said.
Sunday's arrests came as a result of Det. Jason Small's ability to stay alert and observant even during off-duty days.
Morley said Small was running an errand in town when he saw a vehicle he and Det. Mark McClain had been looking for since the incident.
Small notified patrol officers, who stopped the vehicle with five occupants. The officers took them to the station for interviews that culminated in criminal charges for four of them.
"It is a big break in this whole thing," Morley said.
He said the four men, who have no immigration documents, participated in the brawl with the Cook brothers.
Cook's eight-months pregnant girlfriend was sitting in the car during the fight. McClain said it all happened rather quickly.
After the stabbing, Cook went to the room of a friend and collapsed there.
Debbie Manos said his words to her were, "I've been stabbed. Please don't let me die."
Cook died shortly after his arrival to the hospital.
"From witnesses' accounts there were between six and a dozen people there," McClain said previously. "And only one of those people killed Daniel Cook."

Yes, now that we've lost 25 good HR4437 seats in the House, it's time to get tough on illegal immigration. What a joke. Where was this post before the election?
After 30 years of being lack on illegal immigration we finally build a consensus in the House and what happens? We lose 25 good HR4437 seats in the House.
This won't be happening. Forget it; the party's over. Instead, deal with reality. Look at the family budget so it can be adjusted with a minimum of upset to maintain the basics when taxes are increased.
Here's an article from about a year ago by Mark Krikorian (Center for Immigration Studies)
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=13489
And here's an excerpt:
"Nor do guest-worker programs achieve their goal of replacing illegal immigration. During the Bracero program, for instance, there were 4.6 million Bracero admissions, but also 5.3 million Mexican illegal-alien apprehensions (both numbers include people entering multiple times). What's more, the immigration momentum created by the Bracero program has increased the Mexican-born population here from less than 600,000 in 1960 to some 11 million today, half of them illegal aliens. In the words of economist Philip Martin, one of the foremost experts in the field: "Rather than work temporarily and go home, large numbers of Mexican guest workers over time settled and served as magnets for further immigration, sparking one of the largest migrations in human history."
He has a good article in the latest National Review regarding those who see the election as a victory for open borders, those `whistling through the graveyard': `lock-step' supporters of the president, the Chamber of Commerce and the status quo. I'd post but their site is down.
As Krikorian states in his recent article, Democrats--and others--who ignore the real lesson of 11/7/06 do so at their own peril. The only Democrat who came out in favor a "guest worker program", as pushed by the Bush administration, lost.
The winners all made it clear while campaigning that they were opposed to amnesty, and that's what this all about, no matter what words are used or how it is spun.
Because the `bottom line' is, if we do again what we did in `86 we are then going to be overwhelmed by new `guest workers'.
