alas this position has a track record. The last large amnesty was done in 1986--under Reagan. The Mexican Americans responded to the empowerment by voting....democratic.
The GOP does not need to make the mistake of creating policies aimed at Mexican illegals, when there are PLENTY of multi-generation Americans such as me and my family (in Texas before Texas was Texas) that believe or could believe in the GOP principles and DO NOT EVEN RELATE to Mexican illegals any more than we relate to pink-haired, vegetarian environmentalist whackos.
To tell the truth, most of US wish that THEY would just stay on their side of the border.
