a stellar star like O'Reilly can beat the drums for months and be ignored

However, he is increasing awareness. And a beefed up Border Patrol with teeth will sound positively moderate when President Bush does this when compared with O'Reilly's call for putting the Army at the border.

O'Reilly is doing a great service for President Bush.

One thing that would discourage the Democrats and the media from giving illegals a pass would be if we could make a 50% or greater inroad into the Hispanic vote. If they realized they were letting in future Republican voters, they'd drop illegals like a hot potato.

I think our biggest and most important connection with Hispanics is religion and family and effective education for their children. I think they are getting a raw deal from the Dems. They are being led away from God and given a lousy education.

Maybe we need a much better program to explain to them the real spiritual differences in the parties, and let them know that when they vote Democrat that they are forfeiting the souls of their children.
