Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) is endorsing a lot of Senate candidates running against the GOP establishment. But that won't be the case if Dino Rossi runs in Washington state.

DeMint told the Ballot Box that, if the former gubernatorial candidate gets in the race, Rossi can expect his support - and that of his Senate Conservatives Fund.

"Rossi certainly would be a great candidate," DeMint said. "I’m almost certain he would have our full support if he jumped in."

That may be your opinion, and I largely share it. But that has nothing to do with amnesty.

Of course it does. The impact of legal immigration is like having an amnesty every ten years. In terms of who they are, legal and illegal immigrants are essentially the same people. They have the same impact on our society. Amnesty will just hasten the process of destruction of this nation, which is ongoing.

Legal immigration is a discussion for another day. Right now I’m looking for candidates who will send the illegals a packing and build a REAL border fence.

The Republican Party must take the lead on the initiation of a dialogue with the American people on immigration. The status quo is not an option because the demographic changes wrought by immigration will slowly strangle the Republican Party and an amnesty will just hasten the process putting the final nail in the coffin of this country and the GOP. Americans should have an opportunity to decide whether our immigration policies are to serve the long-term interests of all Americans or the short-term interests of corporate and special (often political, religious and ethnic) interest groups. Legal immigration is a controllable variable that can be adjusted in the national interest if we have the political will to do so. And illegal immigration can be stopped and reversed if we as a nation make a resolute commitment to secure our borders and enforce our existing laws.

History is replete with the carcasses of empires, nations, and city-states that failed to “get it right” on the issue of immigration. After five decades of grossly misguided immigration policy, this may be our nation’s last chance to “get it right.” We owe it to our children and future generations.

Immigration is good. We are a nation of immigrants.

Wrong, we filled up decades ago and we sure don't need all these foreigners that are nothing like us.

I'm not an immigrant and neither were my ancestors.

My American ancestors created a nation and allowed other people to immigrate to it. Mitt Romney can say that he descended from immigrants, but I can't.

Do not disrespect the American people that created this nation by trying to say that immigrants that showed up later are the real Americans, just who do you soft on immigration people think was here when your "immigrants" showed up?

... if Dino Rossi runs in Washington state.

If Dino Rossi jumps in now, after many months of hemming and hawing, he is absolutely just running as a spoiler, serving only the commie Democrats, and deserves no support from the right or center.

His time came and went, and he said nothing, did nothing. His proper place is nowhere in the public arena.

I like Dino. he’d have made a good governor. But we need folks in DC who vow to fight to slice and slash the federal leviathan down to the bone. Didier is than man. He’s a farmer WHO WANTS TO KILL FARM SUBSIDIES. Now that’s a man.

[ShandaLear]

I like Akers, but would vaote for Rossi to get rid of Murry.

[pissant]

I’ll vote for whoever wins the primary, but I’m pushing Didier in the primary.
