Oh really? Reality would beg to differ. Last November, I worked on the campaign of a state Senator who ran a campaign around "anti (ILLEGAL) immigrat rhetoric", the Democrats threw everything they could at him and recruited the "perfect" candidate (female, minority, disabled, Iraq war vet) and he pulled through and is on Capitol Hill today. Here's a small sample of freshmen members of Congress who WON in 2006 while making "get tough on illegal aliens and secure the borders" a centerpiece of their campaign:
Senator Bob Corker (R-TN)
Congressman Brian Bilbray (R-CA)
Congressman Peter Roskam (R-IL)
Congressman Bill Sali (R-ID)
Congressman Vern Buchanan (R-FL)
Congressman Doug Lamborn (R-CO)
Congressman Heath Shuler (D-NC)
Congressman Tim Walberg (R-MI)
Mobile Vulgus, this FACT has been brought up on FR over and over again. Don't you open borders RINOs get tired of repeating the same LIES?
