“”GA is set to pass very stringent anti-illegal laws and their ag and const buddys (look up their campaign contributers) are in a panic.””
You’re changing my mind some. It is interesting where the biggest moves are being made, Arizona and Georgia, here come surprise “grand bargainers” like Kyl.
Now you are starting to see what is REALLY GOING ON.
It’s like I said all along: There are people vehemently opposed to the border fence, not because it won’t work, BUT BECAUSE IT WILL.
One thought. The Dims (and a few worthless Rinos) put together a bill that had obvious flaws (e.g., 24 hour security checks, incredibly large future costs, illegals jumping ahead of patient people trying to get in legally, letting in felons and terrorists, etc., etc.).
No sane person would design such a bill. It was as though the Dims intentionally included enough stupid provisions in it that conservatives would go bananas against it while Rinos who hoped not to offend future Hispanic voters might support it.
One key objective of the bill's Dim creators might have been to split the Republican base and put the party in disarray. To some extent they've succeeded. They created a large group of angry voters who might throw Rinos out of office, meaning the Dims might pick up some of those seats.
Hopefully, however, the immigration mess has energized the Republican/conservative base in a way no other issue has. That may will benefit conservatives in 2008, but I'm not sure of the net overall effect.
