Ok, you want me to sum it up, do you?

First of all, Illegal Immigration is AGAINST THE LAW. Do you not seem to understand that? Tolerating law-breaking only encourages more law-breaking. As a society, are we to condone this?

Second of all, you seem to forget how small the registered Hispanic vote there is. By focusing on the rule of law, the majority of the population will support the Republican party en masse. This is a great opportunity for the Republican Party to come out against illegal immigration and win in landslides. However, they, either through the cheap labor profits, or through PC, are unable to bring themselves to do this.

Third, pandering to Illegals ALIENATES the Conservative base and this, right in itself, will cause the Republicans to lose. You can't take oaths of office to uphold the laws and then expect Conservatives to vote for you. Meanwhile, the votes that you may get are infinitely small and do not equate the numbers of votes that you will lose.

Fourth, most Hispanic Americans are opposed to amnesty. It is only the illegal alien mafia that supports it, as well as illegals. Don't you think that an amnesty would alienate their vote, too?

Fifth, the negative social ramifications are too great to be playing with this. If you want a balkanized America, this is the way to do it.

All this talk of amnesty is nothing more than profits for big business, votes for democrats, and, to an extent, part of the new world order agenda. It has nothing to do with the Constitution, votes for the Republican Party, etc. Only the misinformed believe that this is a good strategy.

So, what should we do?
1) Enforce a no-illegal hiring policy.
2) Institute fines for such offenses.
3) Deport Illegals

You would literally watch the votes pour in for the Republican party if they backed this agenda.

Again, if it's such a good startegy to do it your way, please explain why the GOP got their clocks cleaned in California in 1996, 1998, and 2000.
