It's going to be a very rough 20 years getting there, but I think it's time to remind the Republicans that the Republicans emerged from the wreckage of the Whigs, who split over slavery. Immigration and security have the potential to split the Republicans so that a new conservative party can emerge.
I never thought I would come to this point, having worked in GOP campaigns for more than 50 years (since Ike in '56), but then I never thought the Republicans would sign onto this sort of an Amnesty Bill, either.
Since Ike???
WOW!!! That predates me. I joined back when Ronald Reagan ran in his first primary.
The Bushes ahve destroyed the Republican Party unless this bill is stopped in the House which is still possible. They are more in touch with the public than the Senate.
But if not, its Hasta La Vista GOP!!!!
