Sober up.... Dirt poor people aren't going to vote Republican... This pathetic pandering is only going to drive away the base of the party and they'll stay home in 2002 and 2004... Bush is really getting bad advice... Rove has got to go

I think too many Republicans have become accustomed to thinking about Latin American immigration in the terms used by Florida and California conservatives over the last 30 years in reaction to their experiences with Cubans and Mexicans, respectively. The Texas perspective on Mexico in particular has always been different; they're not afraid of creeping bilingualism -- heck, the state's effectively bilingual at least from San Antonio south. Consider also Phil Gramm's views on NAFTA and Mexican trucks. If he were from California, he wouldn't be able to take those positions and continue to win Republican primaries.
