They're going to eat the elephant one bite at a time. And they can, too, since Jorge Boosh is on their side.

Better watch it. A Bushbot moderator suspended my posting privileges about a month ago because I was spelling the president's name like you do.
Sadly, some moderators are Republicans first and conservatives second.

The next election will determine border policy. If open border RINOs fair well - hope is lost, if Hunter and Tancredo get any traction at all the GOP will have to reconsider their platform. The cry of the grass-roots needs to be heard
Build the Fence - Stop the invasion!
No discussion of what to do with illegals until the fence is built, no more NAFTA progress until the fence is built, no more border patrol agent prosecutions until the fence is built, not another dime to the GOP until they build the fence!
Mexico is not a good neighbor, but it is said that good fences make good neighbors. Build the fence stop the invasion!
Then we begin talk of deportation, but without the fence deporting only means another long walk and yet another illegal crossing.

...and greedy businessmen (mostly Republican) There are rich Democrats who are tightwad businessmen too.
The DNC itself even seeks exemptions from minimum wage laws when it comes to paying workers.

My fellow columnist M. Stanton Evans is responsible for the brilliant perception that the Republicans (in John Stuart Mill's formulation, transposed from Britain) are "the stupid party" and the Democrats are "the evil party." Every once in a while they get together and hatch some policy that is both stupid and evil. This is called "bipartisanship,"
Poignant.

The Illegal Immigrant Amnesty Club is using two time-tested strategies. Conservatives would do well to become familiar with both.
The first strategy is the one the article alludes to, which is to slowly, incrementally move the unwilling in the desired direction. This strategy relies on the tactics of deception, stealth and patience. Small pieces of the whole will be carefully reworded in innocuous terms, hidden deeply in unrelated work and slowly accumulate into an ugly whole.
The first phase of the second strategy has already been done. The strategy goes something like this: Push really hard for a policy that is so far over the top, so astonishing, so bold that its opponents will literally sputter in anger against it. Heads reel as people try to wrap their brains around the magnitude of the changes and sacrifices you propose. Finally, at the peak of the opposition's fervor, you relinquish and remove the proposal.
But now, you've stretched the boundaries. You've pushed the envelope. Because your first proposal was so colossally scary, the more modest follow-up proposal is much more likely to be accepted, simply because it isn't as bad as the first.
Where workers might well complain about orders to increase their productivity by 5%, they'll be happy to get there after they've first suffered a month of whipping and berating in pursuit of a 25% increase!

To: DaveyB
Here in Colorado they are already telling stories in the local news about deserving kids who have worked their way through high school and have started small business. They way they spin it can bring a tear to your eye. The poor illegals who only want a better life. Also there was a story about 18 illegals living in an apartment (one bedroom) in NYC working as bus boys saving and sending money back home to start their own business. These two cousins stated how they wanted to return home to their families and start their own business. They each saved over 30,000 in 4 or 5 years. It pulls at the heart strings of those who are to have no clue to what will happen to America if the borders open up. Neither article pointed out that this was all tax free money they stole and the free health care that we tax payers paid for when they were sick and ended up in the general hospitals

I know the GOP will screw me on this as well as the Dims. I just sent my NADA Gringo de Mexico Pesos to the GHOP with their solicitation. The Politicians are staling our birthright, that which our fathers died for ... Enough. Illegals OUT, NOW!
The Pols ALWAYS tie unrelated matters together to get the obnoxious parts through - e.g. Child Medical and Smoking Tax - UNRELATED. As far as I know, illegals who sign up for the military can become citizens, so any thing else is BS.

I see how this works.
First, bash the military, then get recruiting banned from campuses, then they can use the argument that recruiting is down, so we need the illegal immigrants.
Then they will start saying, no, that’s targeting the poor and uneducated, so we just have to give them citizenship without the military service.
And voila.
To: TChris
Brilliant analysis, Chris. As one of my political mentors, Huck Walther, used to explain: “The extremes determine the middle. Unfortunately for those of us on the Right, no group is taking the proper “extreme”: Now that we have stopped amnesty, let’s start rounding up and shipping back the lawbreakers. That’s what our position ought to be. But, infortunately, our side seems to be resting on its laurels.

would give illegal immigrants who are high school graduates a path to U.S. citizenship if they complete two years of college This will be just like what happened to our colleges when college deferments were available during the Vietnam War. The liberal professors could not bring themselves to give anyone a bad grade as it might result in them being drafted. Many large Universities, like the one in my state, did away with F's and flunking out. Grade inflation was so rampant the universities destroyed their credibility. I don't think they have recovered to this day to pre-Vietnam standards.
Not only would this "dream" act be an unwarranted amnesty for illegal aliens, it would bring our college system down to a level even lower than where it is now.
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
professional Democratic politicians, who calculate that the great majority of them will vote Democrat if they ever become citizens They are called "illegals" for a reason, they're not going to wait to become citizens before they vote straight Democrat. Millions will show up at the voting booth with a utility bill and demand to vote.

I agree Dream Act is amnesty and we have to start calling the House of Representatives. What determination to pass this legislation against the will of the people.
