Now that the issue is hot and they have lost our side needs to punch back. Time to move on the border fence....now.

Exactly. And HOLD grudges - against President Bush, McCain, Kennedy, et. all. Hold grudges against those who wanted this national security and sovereignty disaster, this utter disrespect for the rule of law.

If we don't beat them back into the minority, they'll be back again with more of the 'mushy middle' brand of treason.

The only starting point, the only point of action right now, is securing the border and discouraging illegal immigration. In 5-10 years we could have a fully secure southern border. If leaks develop in the northern - we plug those. THEN we start talking about the illegals already here. I prefer a deportation process over 5-10 years.

Here's an idea: If we don't have the stomach for deportation, how's this for a 'humane' deportation: For every illegal that is deported, we move the line up by one person, allowing a skilled legal immigrant from anywhere in the world to come in. Basically, increase the amount of spots available in the lottery by the amount of deportees. That's the only kind of compromise I'd accept.

I normally do not hold grudges, but I will definitely make an exception this time!!!
