As you all know:
   - Future amnesty bills will also be passed and signed, no matter 
     which party controls the White House and Congress.
   - Illegal immigration will continue, at least for quite a while.
   - The Hispanic population here is growing fast and will continue 
     to do so into the foreseeable future.
   - More and more politicians will speak both English and Spanish, 
     as GW Bush does.
   - Mass deportations will not happen and to keep people in an 
     illegal/criminal status -- who are here to stay -- is not a good 
     idea economically, socially, politically, or otherwise.
   - We collectively allowed this situation to happen and we have to 
     live with the consequences until we can turn it into an asset.  
     It will take time.

Jimer, it's called principle, not party. Secondly, allowing an amnesty will be the end of America, anyway, in due time.

Mass deportations is popular amongst the public. It is not popular amongst the elite. Thus, that is why the elite only provides the pro-illegal side of the argument. The politicians see this and say, "Hey, let's vote for an amnesty, for tightening border control may garner scrutiny".

It's of the establishment, by the establishment, and for the establishment. What is it that Savage calls it, "The Government-Media Complex".

I don't know, maybe you are right. But, where would this country be (or not be) today if Paul Revere had run around shouting "The British are coming, The British are coming -- just get used to it".
