This issue was not a big deal a mere 18 months ago in the election. All of a sudden it's the ONLY issue that matters.

Eighteen months ago, 500,000 illegal aliens and their enablers weren't marching down the streets of Los Angeles waving the flags of their nationality.

Some of us see this as a slight problem.

That's true. Of course, 18 months ago the same people who organized these demonstrations were busy with the anti-war demonstrations. I am talking about ANSWR, the Committee for Social Justice, certain labor unions, and the radical left wing of the DNC.

Now, why would these folks suddenly become all interested in immigration? My theory is that it is a two-fer: they have scared Hispanics with threats that the deportations are going to be massive and draconian, and at the same time have USED the Hispanics to scare Republicans and get the party fighting amongst themselves.

So far, it's working like a charm.

To some of us, illegal aliens have been a top concern since their votes defeated B1 Bob in 1996. What developed as a California problem has spread it's stench across the land. Now I see the President and Senate attempting to destroy our culture and values caving in to the invading mob.
