Thanks for the realtime input-——underlines once again what I have contended from the getgo:
Grassroots opposition to amnesty is a rare consensus issue which joined together all segments of the political spectrum.
Too bad the dumbos on Capitol Hill failed to realize that salient fact.
Challengers to these dumbos need only mention “amnesty” to attract droves of voters.
Before 1980, I cannot recall a single Republican holding office around here.
My point, I guess, is that people here, regardless of declared party, are old-fashioned conservative- strong on the military, support the Bill of Rights, don't like too much government annoying them in their private lives.
This Illegal Alien Invasion thing has cut across party lines and brought people back together like nothing I've ever seen before.
All people here have to do, is look around, see how their neighborhoods are changing- for the worse- and notice how property values are dropping... who wants to live next to a duplex with front an back yards full of new cars and trucks, 10 families in the duplex, and three satellite dishes sprouting in the yard?
I'd bet that Hillary would be the first to begin extolling the evils of the "amnesty" bill, blaming the Republicans as being "soft on illegals."
