Such rhetoric has helped to split the conservative movement on this issue, as per Linda Chavez. That is a fact.

I guess it depends on whether your goal is to make yourself feel good by spouting “daring” rhetoric, or if it is to defeat the bill.

One wins political fights in our system by pulling the undecideds over to your side, not by alienating them with extremist-sounding rhetoric.

There was lots of hollering on FR last fall about how it didn’t matter if the “traitor” GOP maintained control of Congress. At least partially as a consequence of such attitudes, we are now faced with the likelihood that this bill will pass. I hope y’all are proud.

You lost me when you mentioned “Linda Chavez”...talk about extremism (Hispanophila)

This issue is not splitting conservatives. Splitting the GOP, yes....but not conservatives. Conservatives value the rights of America and Americans.....respecting legal immigrants while not rewarding illegals.

The rhetoric on either side has not split the conservative movement. I will agree, however, that it has split the Republican party. That is the problem with the Republican party, it has too many who are not conservatives. And, the bill almost passed before with a Republican majority. On this issue, I don’t see any difference between who is in control.
