Surely you've been out of the country.

ha ha ha ha. That was a good one :)

Notice how quickly the lame duck congress stopped talking about the Dream Act?

I'll ping dixiechick2000 because she seems concerned that 0 will try to sneak it in. I don't think the rats want to solve the problem. They can just make promises to illegals and blame the GOP when nothing happens. The issue divides Republicans.

You may choose to not notice but what we've seen over the past couple of years is VERY encouraging.

Help me see what you see, please. In 2005 and 2006 the GOP majority Congress tried to pass an amnesty like Reagan's in 1987. A bill was passed by both House and Senate but Speaker Hastert refused to send representatives to the conference committee to reconcile the 2 bills. When the voters took Denny's majority away he quit. Both parties put up pro amnesty Prez candidates in 08. Are you excited because obambi tells you deportations, and illegals turned back at the border, are on the rise? Dubya, and Clinton said the same thing. If there are any fewer illegals in the US today it's because our economy has tanked and there are no jobs for them. Thousands...maybe tens of thousands of illegals cross our border every day.

Perhaps you are talking about the Tea Party sweeping in men like Scott Brown, Chris “Being in this country without proper documentation is not a crime.” Christie, and reelecting McCain and Murkowski. Or Tancredo's defeat in CO.

I ask again where are the anti-illegal leaders? I can't see why you are so encouraged, but I am very happy for you.

In view of what is now happening in Western Europe things can only get worse here for the proponents of unrestricted immigration.

lol. I hope you are not counting on the American voter knowing what is going on in Europe. They don't know what is happening in America.

My point, which you neatly evaded, is that American public opinion clearly has shifted on this issue, and in a very positive direction. It doesn't matter that the MSM won't acknowlege it - the recent behavior of our political leaders in general is testament enough to it.

What else would have so quickly stopped them from accomplishing what so many of them clearly want to do?
