The GOP's Harsh Immigration Stance Will Cost It
By Michael Gerson May 14, 2010 Has the Republican Party become, as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid recently charged, the "anti-immigrant party"? The accusation is overbroad. Republicans (and others) who are offended by chaos at the southern border, who are concerned about the strains illegal immigration places on public services and who believe enforcement should precede comprehensive reform are not necessarily "anti-immigrant."
Reid has an interest in painting with the broadest possible brush to motivate Hispanic supporters in his own, uphill reelection campaign.
But it would be absurd to deny that the Republican ideological coalition includes elements that are anti-immigrant -- those who believe that Hispanics, particularly Mexicans, are a threat to American culture and identity.
When Arizona Republican Senate candidate J.D. Hayworth calls for a moratorium on legal immigration from Mexico, when then-Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) refers to Miami as a "Third World country," when state Rep. Russell Pearce (R), one of the authors of the Arizona immigration law, says Mexicans' and Central Americans' "way of doing business" is different, Latinos can reasonably assume that they are unwelcome in certain Republican circles.

And your point is what AH? That we should allow the invasion of our nation? That we should allow for the destruction of Western culture, our way of life and in fact accept our own genocide? Mr Gerson you are an evil SOB and and enemy to my family, my community and this nation. If you want to live in Mexico please do. If you want to speak Spanish, adopt Mexican culture and immerse yourself and your family in the third world please do...in Mexico or anywhere else. Otherwise GFY!
Idiots like Gerson (and McCain, and Bush Jr., etc.) who embrace the merger of our homeland with Mexico - are not allies of Americans.
http://www.collinsreport.net/2010/05/12/if-conservatives-oppose-amnesty-hispanics-will-punish-them-in-november-the-numbers-say-otherwise/ This threat from the Left doesn’t hold water. Yes the Hispanics will someday be a big Democrat voting block, but for now their power is an illusion.
You know what's killing us? It's the attitude displayed by one utter ass who got up at one of the, I think, Clinton/Bush debates and whined that they should stop attacking each other, and blah blah blah.
We're dying from the "non-judgmental" attitude that's just a method of disarming those who are in the right (and usually on the right).
I’ve actually done business with illegal aliens (Albeit it was food service). They constantly botched my orders and belittled me when I asked them to change their orders. They also had a strange, entitled attitude, like they were somehow entitled to botch my order.
well there ya go.
You forgot the RINO Alert notice.
