[history]
All eight of the Democratic presidential contenders at Thursday's debate embraced amnesty for illegal aliens now in the United States, pushing the issue onto the national stage for the presidential contest.
In a debate specifically designed to showcase the candidates for Hispanic voters who were increasingly intrigued by President Bush's outreach in 2000 and 2001, the Democrats went on record in support of amnesty, a high-profile issue in that community.

What a way to take the attention away from the twisted way the "lying liberals" treated a "Hispanic" nominee.
There is no end to what this bunch of "HATE" America "MOST" crowd will do to destroy the "Consititution" of these United States.

Your post is a little confusing. With that in mind, I think if a presidential candidate had the b***s to take a hard stand AGAINST any amnesty and instead stood up for enforcing our laws, people would rally behind him like we haven't seen for a long time. It won't happen though. The Republicans are nothing more than democRAT lite. The rare politician who stands on principle generally gets railroaded or marginalized by the rest.

The Democrats are jumping out ahead and are stating the obvious so that they can claim the credit over the coming decades. The illegals are here to stay; it's price that must be paid for open borders. It can be stopped but what has happened can not be undone. As the subculture grows, and the underground economy becomes a bigger drain on the normal economy, and the criminal element spreads throughout our neighborhoods, cities, and states, etc....then people will be begging to grant amnesty and turn the illegals into law abiding taxpayers, and get the melting pot working again if it's not too late. That's the scenario that I see.

I have a question: Has anyone seen a poll of the American public showing their wishes regarding immigration, legal and illegal?
I know there is one from sometime ago that says 70% are against illegal immigartion and wants a stop on legal immigaration.
I have a feeling that there is one and it is way above 70% and that is why it isn't being published.

"at least try to contain some of this." Trying to put toothpaste back in the tube comes to mind.

"Why do we always see the words Democrat and illegal in the same sentence or headline?" It's very simple.
