Id like to see Romney win and then pick Hunter as his vp. He can be the border bull dog and make sure it gets done! Trancredo just isn’t as well spoken as Hunter.

"But, heck, the next million illegals will do the job."

Problem is, we will get another 200 million third worlders in the next 20 years if amnesty passes. Jeff sessions laid this out very clearly last year when the first amnesty bill made it through the senate.

What gripes me is that the President and the other politicians keep using this 6 year old figure of 12 million illegals. 30 to 40 million have snuck in since. The border patrol and Homeland security said that 10 million got through in 2005 and 2006!
