Twenty-three congressmen warned President Bush in a letter
yesterday that he risks an election-year backlash from Republican voters if he continues to press his guest-worker proposal.
The Republican lawmakers said their congressional offices have received a flood of angry letters, e-mails and phone calls from Republican constituents vowing that they will refuse to vote for the president if his program is approved.
"If we do not listen to our constituents on this matter, our influence and effectiveness in Congress could be jeopardized."
Most of the congressmen signing are conservatives who represent Western, Southern and Midwestern states, including California, Idaho, Texas, Tennessee and Kansas.

Excellent thread JP, thanks for starting this and thanks for the great links. As someone else stated you must be getting under the pro-illegals feathers. I would say that is a feather in your cap.
