Aww, don't worry! As soon as they get out from underneath the desks, they'll be louder than ever before. Which is what worries me the most: now that the war is won, they will be advocating open immigration as the other poster said. So the flow from the south will now become a tidal wave, if we aren't already there. Border enforcement will simply cease to exist and the gates will be thrown open, because Bush is now in hock to them. What fun...hope I'm proved wrong on that, but...I don't think so.
I am wary of this also. Bush certainly has more than enough political capital, at least within the party, to pretty much do what he wants with border enforcement and immigration in general. We will probably get a preview of what is coming down the pike in the next few weeks.
