The election base for the Republicans will be so eroded to the point where regardless of how qualified a Republican running for the Presidency in 08 that candidate will have a disappointing turnout. This will be especially true if the Bush administration does not act in a clear and decisive manner to resolve the illegal immigrant issue.

If AZ and NM shut their borders I guess I'll get flooded even worse now here in Texas. Gov. Perry are you listening? I hope we're next to declare an emergency.

Not to worry, Arizona is not closing it's borders. Napalitano does not have the cajones.

Various members of the Congressional and Senate Immigration Crisis Team (ICT) respond to the national emergency . .

I'd like to see the FULL quote, in context.

Hannity asked richardson if he was going to meet with simcox and richardson distanced and snubbed simcox in blunt terms.

Simcox came on and he said he was in negotiations with richardson and his staff and then went on to praise ricgardson for his phony emergency and minor administartve move.

Voters are a fickle bunch, I know, I am one. ;-)

Timing and intervening events play heavily in election outcome. I've given up any serious playing of the prediction game (and often figure it's rigged anyway), and reserve my support for individual candidates or advocacy groups. E.g., in the last election, I donated to the Swiftees, but not to the RNC.

#137 - Thanks for not including me in on that great distinction . . .

Aren't Napolitano and Richardson both dems? Must be pretty bad for them to do this.

Yeah, they are and man I got whiplash watching Janet turn on a dime on this. For the last two years she's been vetoing every single measure that would help stop the flow of illegals. Suddenly, Richardson does something and Janet was right along side of him.

I see Pres Carter is there in an advisory capacity. He's the one in the Checkered flannel shirt and the ball cap. LOL!!!!!!!

Ditto.

Who honestly believes that Richardson is a hero? He just isn't hero material. Calling Richardson a hero is like putting Superman in the same category as Mr. Magoo.

Money well spent.

Kinda like a Marianas boat lift in reverse. Man the catapults and release the hounds!

[ncountylee]

Come on CA and TX really make the Fox howl at the moon!

[patriciamary]

The Bush administration will start to "study" the problem, and the hearings in Congress will start in a few months and drag on until after the next election...everyone will say they are working on it as fast as they can, but nothing will happen.

There is no intention to stop this problem by either party. If we cannot stop the illegals crossing our border, how can we stop the infiltration into Iraq from Iran and Syria? We can do all of it with the right resources, but we will not get them.

The true meaning of this whole "event" in history will be how we look back on this situation and react as a people, Democrat and Republican alike, to a totally non-responsive government, the leaders of which have decided to open our borders and send our jobs to Mexico.

But as we make a new continental economic sphere, watch how the environmental and labor laws from this country are not passed or enforced by the Mexican government...This is a deception by our leaders on the grandest scale...and the people are not in agreement. The US worker will suffer the most.

The questions is, "Why is this happening?" My biggest fear is that those who have nothing to this point, will come up with a solution that will advance the one continent economic spher, while paying lipservice to something unimportant but appealing to the masses.

What does one do when the leadership will not listen to the people that elected them?

McCormack said in regard to Richardson's decision that, as the governor of New Mexico, he has the responsibility to protect his state citizens in the manner he sees apprpriate

That is the only reasonable statement McCormack made. The action of Gov. Richardson's state of emergency may be good from a publicity standpoint, but in the long-term, no state has the resources of the Congress. The Congress and President should reread Section 8, Clause 15, of the Constitution of the United States, To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions. Does 700,000 illegal aliens moving into our country each year qualify as an invasion. I and many others believe it does.

Hey, Happy, speaking of China: what's the FR Obie position on the sale of Unocal--and other resources--to the Chicoms? You're a big commie; you ought to know that. /sarcasm
