A few other thoughts on this. Jumpin Jim Jeffords isn't running for re-election and the House can't filibuster anything, just sh**t can it.
Rush supports President Bush as do I on the most important issue of the day. The War Against Islamo Fascism. Bush's position on immigration is unfortunately the same as the great Ronald Reagan and no one can possibly believe Ronald Reagan was not conservative. For his conservative credentials look at a world map in 1980 and then look at another one in 1991.
So as conservatives we need to grow up a little. First off we should avoid at all costs the Paleo-Con position of the Pat Buchanans of the movement. This is the road to marginalization and defeat. As is the Frist/McCain big business butt kissing and pandering to the MSM to be seen as enlightened.
To me there is a middle ground that can be found mostly in the House but also in the Senate. You address this issue I think nationally with two words security and assimilation. The "wall" is a must but so is allowing immigrants into the United States not just from Mexico but from all over the world. A set number per year with assimilation being the goal.
As for those here now you do the Mike Pense plan of encouraging them to deport themselves. You stop the transferring of funds from here to Mexico. Anyone who is using government taxpayer funded services, i.e. public schools. Must first prove their citizenship, if they can't then adios.
There are numerous examples and methods that can't possibly be placed on here. But you address this issue with two hands as we did in fighting the Cold War. On the one hand you welcome people who want to be Americans making it as easy as possible for them to do so. On the other hand you enforce the law, make life hell for current illegals and especially for the people who hire them. You put a wall on the border and make it as close to impossible as you can to sneak into the country and you do whatever is necessary to fix Mexico.
One last thing. Does Mike DeWine of Ohio really not want to be a Senator anymore?
Try Fort Collins Co.
