I have not dared to read this thread but I want to throw him my support for President Bush.
In my estimation, conservatives are being played like a fiddle by the Left. They love dividing us from this President.
President Bush never campaigned on strict border enforcement. Illegal immigrants are not the enemy despite the overheated rhetoric on free republic.
People who want to have more strict enforcement can press for such candidates in the wide open political ranges of 2008.
Bashing Bush does absolutely no good for conservatives.
Crossing the border may not make someone an American but it certainly should not preclude them from becoming one.
Hispanics have an excellent chance of becoming conservatives despite the fearmongering directed at them.
I support President Bush.
