Without checking you...and for the sake of argument...I'll agree.

But how does the above square with his apparent "need" to legitimize illegal aliens? Is it conservative to "award" illegal behaviour? Is it even Republican?

fwiw-

I make both sides mad when it comes to immigration and illegal immigration because while we need to stop illegal immigration, "shootin' em as they cross the border" isn't the way I would think would be most effective and reflective of our National morality.

That being said, I disagree with Hatch if he wants to give a blanket amnesty. I think he is wrong. But being wrong on an issue is not enough for me to label someone as an enemy. Too many on this site view even a variance of one vote enough to forever label them a traitor to this or that cause.

For example, being friends with a Liberal for many here is enough to disqualify you for any position. I think that is wrong as well. Doesn't make me wish they would get banned though.
