How did it go with Mr. Amnesty himself, Jose McCain? He won by landslide?

So you are openly saying that winning elections is all that matters. Heck, why not just go demanding that minimum wage is $500, every family gets a free house and every illegal on the planet can come here? Maybe 100M new illegalos will vote for us then.

We have principles and we can argue our positions (rule of law being one of them). Reagan didn’t accept your pessimistic view. He had his views and he defended them and Americans accepted those. He won them over.

Besides, majority of americans oppose illegal immigration. It is only our RINO elite and dems looking for cheap labor or cheap votes.

I am openly saying that winning the November 2012 Presidential election, if the Democratic nominee is Barack Obama, is more important that your position on illegal immigration.

In the abstract, they do. If they favored doing anything about it, I imagine the electoral record would look very different.

It's mostly Republicans who are looking for the cheap labor, and that coalition you described is a fairly robust majority of the voting population.
