It is hard for me to defend the POTUS at this point, but all I can say is that if the so called Republican party including the rinos rigorously fought this illegal thing, then the Mexicans would become a block of voters like the blacks.

As in 90%.

And that will truly take us out in Texas, as well as other States that are on the edge.

IMO

I disagree with you. I have a mezkin in my family (an old coot in Texas) who listens to Rush Limbaugh and whose family has been in Texas forever. Doesn't like illegals. Doesn't want them. I have a Haitian co-worker, legal citizen, married, grows pot in her back yard, real feminist type, not conservative at all, who doesn't want illegals or immigrants because she knows them and is afraid for her child. You assume that they don't know the score. They do. They are Americans too. I'm not saying it's a majority of the latin and carribean vote, but this won't change it much, pass or fail, imho. In fact, I think since the bill will hurt assimilation, if it passes we lose a bigger % of the latin/carribean vote than if it fails.
