I hear ya...this is rapidly becoming a hot issue for conservatives.

But here's the problem. Let's assume for argument's sake that we get a candidate like Tom Tancredo who runs on the illegal immigration issue. I doubt he would get the nomination from the Republican Party, and he will not win a national election in a three way race. If he runs on a third party ticket, the dims win.

The only good that can come from that scenario would be if he draws enough grassroots support to make the established Republican Party leaders realize there is discontent among the base.

The only good that can come from that scenario would be if he draws enough grassroots support to make the established Republican Party leaders realize there is discontent among the base.

This is probably the most realistic and practical scenario we can hope for.

Another thing we can do is elect more like-minded people to office at the state level and to the House of Reps. We can't do much about Bush or the Senate. I'm working on a letter to my republican state senator promoting the idea of making Missouri the most "un-friendly to illegal aliens" state in the union. Maybe it this will catch on.
