If you believe that an amnesty supporter will "close the border" you're naive.

Quit kidding yourself. Each amnesty makes a further mockery of our national sovereignty and the rule of law, and sets the stage for the next wave of illegal immigration.

Are you ready for a hundred million more?

I'll have to read your response tomorrow...

The Mexican border absolutely has to be "closed." I.E., illegal entry must be stopped. However, simple arithmetic tells us that the "Mexican Problem" is about to be dwarfed by the "Latin American" problem. Central America has already begun a mass illegal migration. When 100 Million Brazilians start getting itchy feet (also already started), we had better have our immigration act together.

Speaking of simple arithmetic, whoever keeps floating that "12 Million Illegal aliens" number, must be thinking of just LA County. If there are not 15 million illegal aliens in California alone, I'll buy all of them a drink, using their Food Stamps.

Furthermore, if all illegal immigration from the South were to stop tonight at midnight, we will still become a massively Hispanic country ... it will just take 25 years longer.

That is the real reason to stop this insane illegal population transfer. Since we're going to be a Latin American country eventually, we ought to try for a demographic model closer to Spain, Chile or Argentina, not Bolivia, Guatemala, or Mexico. The "Americanization" process is successful with LEGAL immigrants.

That integration process is being swamped by an illegal tide. Step (1) Palin must absolutely make this a major platform plank. Followed by Hardball and election reform to prevent the Democrats from deploying the illegal alien "vote," they have so assiduously developed. Step (2) The ruinous custom, and that is all it is, of granting citizenship to the offspring of illegals must be stopped cold by Executive Order. That era must end. Step (3) The inevitable riots in Hispanic areas must be handled firmly and punished by immedfiate deportation.

There is no way the Republicans should court the Hispanic vote. And it wouldn't be a bad idea to clear the air with African-American voters, either. By now, perhaps it's clear even to them, that illegal immigration has a terrible, direct, economic effect upon them. Neither group will support a Republican for another 50 years, anyway.
