To borrow Ross Perot's 1992 campaign phraseology, immigration is the "crazy aunt in the basement" of GOP politics.

Ignoring it won't make it go away. Place after place - even far from the border - has overstuffed schools with ever-more trailer classrooms no matter what tax referendum the sheeple pass because of it. This is the point where it affects middle-class families most in quality of life - not just in high taxes. It puts a huge quasi-tax on families in some areas by forcing near-universal middle-class flight to private schools.

However, place after place is also seeing immigration take over local welfare caseloads - even far from the border. Place after place - even far from borders - is also seeing immigration put ruinous burdens on hospitals.

The GOP elites ignore this issue at their own peril - as social conservatives no longer will support a party that doesn't support us; we will vote Buchanan or just not vote for president at all in 2004 if the party doesn't stand by us.

Get the sticker!

We can't afford to do that any more. We can't afford to let sour grapes put the communists in charge. This thing is coming right down to the wire. This country was split right down the middle last time. We have to vote republican. If we can give the republicans some breathing room they can afford to move further to the right. But lets be real here. Another few years of clintonian style government will just about finish us. Its going to take some time to repair the damage. Stay the course. It can be morning in america again but we need to sweep the demonrats out. Remember they are wicked and evil.
