That opponents of the Latin American immigration are verrrrrry loud does not make them either wise or a majority. Politicos in both parties favor the immigration in reasonable numbers.

Some conservatives got all lathered up over immigration and vowed to stay home on election day. Many of them did so and we now have a Demonratic Congress in both houses. I am going out on a limb here and predicting that the Demonratic Congress is not going to close the border much less find the "illegals" already here and deport them. Instead the Congress will vote a comprehensive solution, including what will be called "amnesty." Many Hispanics will be unnecessarily voting Demonrat because they are being convinced that the Demonrats are "their friends" (the old 40 acres and a mule thing) and Republicans (think Tancredo) their enemies.

One thing is for sure. History will not teach that border resistance was smart or effective politics.
