The problem is that many conservatives are getting so worked up over it that it is coming over as anti immigrant even if many do not mean it to.

And the Democrats will have a field day with it too

Notice there haven't been many comments from the leaders in their party ... they are sitting back and enjoying what's going on

Absolutely but the right is too busy eating its own to notice

You are right. There is no democrat politician in my red state that would be so stupid to insult his union member constituents by repeatingly defending illegal immigration by claiming we need them to do the work Americans won’t do. Only republicans are stupid enough to repeat that kind of refrain. I have yet to meet a democrat relative or neighbor that wants to legalize this great mass of people who have broken into the country. You will see few if any democrat politicians from the mid west campaigning for this bill.

They can vote for it only because the republicans like McCain and Bush give them cover.
