“a new crop of illegals”
I think this may be the biggest concern of most Americans.
If we could believe the political touts in both parties saying, “It will be `comprehensive immigration reform’ and we will henceforth control our border,” and so forth and so on ... then we might say, “OK, one more time ...”.
But as you suggest by using the words “a new crop of illegals”, even dogs and children understand what is meant by the question,
“What do you get when you reward bad behavior?”
If you sneak dinner scraps to your dog begging at the table, if you fail to discipline a naughty child, if you slap the wrists of foreign lawbreakers by making them agree to do things that they have no intention of doing, while giving them citizenship ...
what you get is more bad behavior.
I don’t think it will just be Democrats getting their hats handed to them this November. It will be any candidate who cannot—or will not—recognize that the average American doesn’t give stupid answers on Jay Leno’s dummy search video clips.
We’ve had our ration of their `trust us’ BS. They serve us, at our pleasure, and the federal government is a creature of the states, not vice versa as they seem to think, judging by the recent high-handed & arrogant behavior of the executive and legislative branches of the federal government.
Looks like Arizona won't be giving McCain his just desserts. Damn shame, too. He, along with Ted Kennedy and GWB, was one of the major co-conspirators in that last attempt to shove amnesty down our throats in June 2007.
