According to some here, this is the worst time for this to come up. This is an election year, ya know. Can’t have anything that the RATs would use to paint the GOP as racist. If not now, when? The DemocRATs and their allies in the media will continue to paint the GOP, all day, every day at any given time of the year, so that argument doesn’t make an ounce of sense.
Most Americans are opposed to granting birthright citizenship to illegal aliens. Because of the situation in Arizona, this is the perfect time to bring this up and maybe with enough of an outcry, this misinterpretation will end.
Notice, I said, “Maybe”. At least, not with this current Congress.
Thing is, they're gonna call us racist anyway. Just being Republican means you're "racist." Just being white means you're "racist." Just being opposed to illegal immigration means you're "racist." It's time to stop cowering at that word, and (1)either laugh in the faces of those who scream it, (2) give it right back to them, or (3) just go about our business, doing what needs to be done, and ignore them. We've got work to do. Our country is a mess. We can no longer hold back because of fear of being called a name, which they'll call us, anyway!!
