Now, that's FUNNY!
To see "closet gun grabber" whispered about Allen means someone is losing their mind... probably McCain since he has so short a way to go.
Haven't paid much attention to the immigration debate in the Senate since it's all so fluid. The few Allen statements I've seen seem in line with the Kyl plan (they have to go back and reenter legally and there's some "guest worker" plan or something like that ).
What will count is what comes out of conference with the House- if anything.
Why? I have no interest in voting McCain, who IS a gun grabber. But anyone who initially backed the Feinstein/Clinton gun bill has real room to be questioned on that issue. I cannot imagine a committed advocate for gun rights standing in line with Feinstein anywhere.

So they do. But I have listed quite a few exceptions to a closed border that Felix voted for, and I'm not gonna be taken in by 'no new amnesties' in 2008. Been there, done that. There had better be strong sentiment from any Congressman against any guest worker plan that involves essently a pardon and retention of currently present illegal workers--those Congressmen who expect to win the middle American vote had better stand up for it.
