More than anything, people vote their wallet. Immigration as a subject by itself is not a big issue unless you're in a state being dramatically affected by them. But the economic consequences over the next three years of legalizing possibly millions of poor uneducated illegal immigrants could have enough impact on the economy that it tips the scales against Bush. The demos aren't going to hit him on immigration by itself, he's going to be hammered on that issue by the people needs most - the conservative base. Many of us just might stay home the next two elections.

What is really pathetic is the belief around here that these people will vote Republican - the ones who received amnesty in 1986 certainly didn't.
