Ya know, you probably will find it strange that there was a very successful conservative movement with lots of really important issues before anyone even noticed the border with Mexico. In 2004, we got 45% of the Hispanic vote and (given the overwhelmingly Democrat lean of the Puerto Rican vote on the mainland, a probable majority of the Mexican vote. Given the advancement of bordermania since then there is little likelihood of a repeat any time soon but go ahead and obsess any way. After all, it’s a free country. Maybe paleoPaulie will save the US from Karl Rove! Not likely. Gandalf the Grey has a better shot.
I read your statement above and only shook my head in amazement. You obviously haven't a clue what has been occuring for the past 20 years.
It seems you require a little history lesson here.
You mentioned 1994. But it seems you failed to notice or listen to the warnings from those in the southwest that a violent, lawless invasion was upon us, and spreading fast. Yes, before 1994.
In 1994 the southwest was being choked off by millions of illegal alien invaders. It was and still is the big issue.
Tell me, did you ever hear of CA. Proposition 187, circa 1994? Reading your statement above, it seems you haven't.
Some back ground on 187:
Generally, this initiative would have prohibited state and local government agencies from providing publicly funded education, health care, welfare benefits, or social services to illegal aliens. The measure would have also required state and local agencies to report suspected illegal immigrants to the INS and certain state officials.
The people of California spoke loud and clear, voting overwhelmingly for the proposition. However, state government officials, working in concert with the Federal government burned the ballots declared this proposition illegal, after it won big by the voters.

Ya know, it seems after reading your statement, you were willing to sacrifice our sovereignty, our border security, our national security, all for a few votes.
Either that, or you just had not idea what was happening in this country back in the early 1990s.
Now lets fast forward about 15 years...Well, the results should be quite clear to most everyone...Maybe even you.
