>>The question is can a Republican contender, so hemmed in, appeal to a national electorate without lethally undermining support from the base? Immigration is a corrosive wedge issue among Republicans while Democrats’ disagreements are quibbles in comparison. This is a dangerous conundrum for Republican leaders as a national election looms.<<
“Hemmed in?” “Immigration is a corrosive wedge issue...” A somewhat one-sided article, claiming that if you are opposed to illegal immigration you can’t win in the general election. I think the author is wrong, but we can’t ignore the MSM’s power to deceive and hypnotize the masses. It will definitely take some work to get good people elected in 2008.
With strict workplace enforcement, they will be out of work.
When we cut off the Federal handouts, they’ll self deport.
Hopefully they’ll go home and make some much needed changes in their own governments.
Do you know what? A couple of years ago I probably would have paid you no mind but your dead on. Something simple but disturning turned me on to this problem and got me thinking. I was on business and it was late. I was in MA and stopped for a couple of burgers at MacDonald’s. The drive in women could not understand my order because I asked for pickles and onions with Big Mac sauce. She no speaka english! I drove off furious and stopped an hour later in CT off 95. I thought, this will be fine I am sure they speak english here. Boy was I wrong. It was like walking into a cafe in Tijuanna. Spanish music, pinatas and no speaka english. I told them in Spanish to learn English and you’ll make more money. These people are so disrespectful to our culture they won’t even bother learning our friggin language! Then they get hand outs equally $30,000 a year and still scream for more entitlements. Why are they dumping in your bushes? Because even when arrested they are simply set free. Just disgusting but yes, We the People will do something about it and I have already begun to do my share and just warming up :)
>>After securing the borders, what do you propose that we do with the 12 million illegal aliens presently living and working in this country?<<
Well, it will take more than just “securing the borders.” There are only 2,000 ICE agents vs. probably at least 20 million illegals, so an increase to about 10,000 ICE agents would be an improvement, plus effective employment enforcement.
After those are truly under control, we still should not offer an amnesty like the one proposed in the senate this year, with no background checks, allowing gang members to apply for citizenship. Also, illegals who are are taking more than they are contributing should go home.
What about illegals who have used legal residents’ SS numbers? Would you kick them out?
“Mexico does not end at its borders. ... Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico.”
Why, that's just WONDERFUL! /sarc
Sheesh, the nerve of some of these GOP-bots.
Ho Slap.
Why, Duncan Hunter, in a one-on-one TV debate with Hilary Clinton, would kick her (political) arse to kingdom-come. I could evision him walking all over here in circles, she would probably have a nervous breakdown in the process.
The other GOP candidates, mostly the establishmment and media's top choices, would be "too gentleman" to deal with America's enemies in that fashion. Too benevolent for my liking and for what's at stake for the Republic.
It's called "waking up".
Wow. We have a WINNER!!! Ding ding ding ding ding!
Keep them illegal, crack down on illegal employment, deport those arrested, cut off benefits, and count on attrition.
Tagging is urban terrorism.
Offer anyone who leaves voluntarily the chance to apply to return legally in the future.
After that, anyone caught will be fingerprinted and NEVER allowed to enter the country again.
Enforce the law, tax the remittances, jail those using false papers.
They’ll leave.
That is incredible!
No way we are that stupid.
There's a tremendous number of Salvadorans and Hondurans in this area ~ all here in parole ~ which is a sort of legal status.
A single federal judge is responsible for this.
Dichondria lawns are beautiful, but they require a lot of care. The rest of us do without them.
Did you have some other idea?
