This time next year there will be millions more illegal aliens in country. The Republicans will still be debating the issue while trying to rationalize how they can possible gain more votes out of it, as the Democrats will just sit back and laugh. This nation is in desparate need of a party the represents America, or whats left of it by then.

Regrettably I agree Joe. The Republicans have become so comfortable in DC that they no longer have the backbone to make tough policy decisions in the interests of the majority of their constituents if it draws the ire of the socialists or certain business lobbies. In poll after poll most Americans think our immigration is too excessive. Who is representing the American people on this?

The problem with the immigration issue and why nothing gets done is that "everyone wants to go to Heaven, but nobody wants to buy a ticket."

To wit, they support "getting tough on immigration" as a concept, but then suddenly get very reluctant when the conversation turns to details--because some of those details will personally inconvenience them.
