Republicans should push a bill that does nothing but secure the border and strengthen our immigration laws.

This would split border security and immigration enforcement, which is extremely popular with people from both parties, from a guest worker/citizenship program, which is incredibly controversial with people in both parties.

If the Democrats want to argue that we should leave our borders wide-open while we debate a controversial guest worker program, let them make that argument.

The GOP should unite behind a simple principle on illegal immigration: “Secure the border and enforce our laws.”

a great idea...but can Conservatives get Mccain's attention and create this upswell from the Conservative base? Then can Conservatives hold McCain's feet and our other congressperson to the fire long enough to help prevent more death visited upon our Citizens from this problem? I do not know the answer...so far....I will admit, I have failed miserably, and have only attracted my Representative, but even my Representative has said things which cause me worry, but I am in......if all of us want to work this angle.
