Firstly, Rodriquez is a liar. Secondly, did you forget your sarcasm tag? NO Immigrants were demonized. What is at issue here are illegal immigrants. Mostly what I see here on FR and among other Conservatives I know is a genuine desire to see the Government hold to the rule of law.
I am never sure what part of “illegal” is being misunderstood? Are you suggesting Americans should roll over and allow our country to be transformed into a 3rd-world crap-hole overnight? Are illegal aliens in some way special? How do you suppose those who did things legally and jumped through all the hoops to becomes citizens feel?
Betrayed.
It's even worse for the legal folks who supported the Republicans only to get stabbed in the back by McCain et al.
Only in their grotesquely overinflated sense of entitlement, and how slavishly servile "moderate" Republicans are in bowing and abasing themselves before same.
