The secure borders bloc, while it may be politically somewhat disjointed, is nothing to sneeze at, either.

It is showing itself to be more potent with each passing day. After the GOP losses in 2006, I thought shamnest was a done deal. So did the Bush Admin and the Dems, who hired specialists to help them draft shamnesty legislation for later this year.

But a funny thing happened on the way to open borders nirvana - more and more voters are giving politicians an earful. Both McCain and Brownback are reversing themselves on their support of shamnesty. I think we're now at the point where there could be a filibuster of horrific immigration "reform", which would stop the runaway train.

We may still end up with bad reform, but that's still better than the alternative. And the movement just keeps getting stronger. IMO it will be the predominate force in 2008, especially with MS-13 and foreign gangs getting more and more publicity.

Every time there’s a big rally for rights for illegal immigrants, it sends more people to the other side...
