I hate seeing old friends fight over this..just damn!

Someone asked about a "plan"..

My "plan" would be for President Bush to unite the Republican Party by announcing that he is solidly behind funding a Border Wall and has reconsidered his views wrt "earned path to citizenship". IOW's, what's the rush?

Our elected officials need to step back...take a deep breath and when in doubt "do nothing"..which will cause LaRaza and the Latino movement great pain..but what the hell?!

The hell with a wall, just address Mexico in no uncertain terms that this country can no longer tolerate the security breach in this day of Terrorism nor can we continue to bear Mexico's problem.

...sounds reasonable.

At least all of us could have a "discussion" about what compelling reason if ANY could be given for the supposed need to grant 20+ million illegals American citizenship (or a pathway there to).

The fact that GWB has made that the ONE condition that he will not budge on makes his plan unpalatable to MOST logical thinking Americans.

Even if we were to grant them some "new" legal status like permanent resident or something (less voting rights) would be a hell of a lot smarter than absolutely destroying the Republican party we have now by granting them a speedy "pathway to citizenship".

GWB's position defies all logic and would be the destruction of the party.
