And it only takes a few election cycles for the newly legalized to start voting Democrat.

I wonder how many of them would actually become citizens - throughout the "protests" and "boycotts", not many talked about wanting it - they were just demanding the rights citizens get. I don't think many of thought of the implications beyond the goodies the libs promise them, and the idea of getting the INS off their back. Do you really think they want to see 40-50% of their incomes disapear overnight? To have to stand in line with the rest of us? Pay taxes? Pay for healthcare? Pay for education?
Fox has on more than one occasion spoken of an open border for seasonal migration, that sure doesnt sound like citizenship to me.
You are confusing two issues. If we have no Republican majority we cannot move the country to the right AT ALL. If we Keep the majority, we can forestall Some of the illegal voting that the dems hope to use to influence elections. If we keep the majority, perhaps the conservative message [personal responsibility] will appeal to new Legal American citizens. People who think that Bush advocates instant amnesty/citizenship/voting rights and think that the correct way to stop this is to bash Bush are not looking down the road at the spectre of Dem control of Congress and White House.
