I want Tancredo to run as a Dean style candidate (who tells the truth and makes sense) and pull the other candidates to the right on this issue.
It's not just leftists. Ever read the Wall Street Journal editorial page's weekly attack on "anti-immigrant right wing knuckle-draggers"?
You'd think you were reading the Nation.
You have to ask?
It doesn't take a political committee to figure this out. It should have been the main issue 8 years ago, but the elites in the two beltway parties have been doing their damn best to ignore it, while their rank and file party members have marched in lockstep cadence behind these corrupt political hacks.
It's now the 5000 pound gorilla standing right in the middle of their platforms, and many of these hacks are still trying to ignore it.
This epic lawlessness and their cheap labor before law and country is costing Americans *billions*.
You make too much sense, so stop it before you scare the soccer-moms (Ophrons).

Wonder no more. It will.
Also, nuclear radiation fallout from recent WMD attacks will be an issue.
Bioweapon defense projects and ABM projects will be an issue.
Recovering from a WMD attack on America that sent the world economy into a depression will be an issue.
I saved this post to hard disk and will republish it in 2008.
And they'd lose. Again.
This country has seen higher levels of legal and illegal immigration recently than it has in a very long time.
Most of those immigrants will slowly become citizens (even many of the illegal ones... eventually). Many of those citizens will vote. They will be a crucial vote constituent and the Democrats would only be hurting themselves if they put up an anti-immigration nativist candidate for President. Also, they'd end up identifying their party as anti-immigrant - that would put them in the political wilderness for a very long time.
And no candidate can win based on being anti-immigrant and rallying the native-born anti-immigrant constituency. If they could, Pat Buchanan would have been elected President.
"Immigration law expert Victor Romero of Penn State University believed the United States may be entering one of its periodic anti-immigration phases. "
That should be anti illegal immigrant. And the period should have started 9/ll/2001.
New Poll UP:

Do you believe illegal aliens have the constitutional right to enjoy the benefits of U.S. citizenship?
Yes 5% 101 votes
No 94% 2129 votes
Total: 2230 votes
"Stop this insanity now."
The situation is completely out of control. We need at least a five year moritorium on ALL immigration to allow us to get this whole mess sorted out.
And nuts to this guest worker foolishness. People who come into your home uninvited are not "guests", they're intruders. No other nation on earth permits the sort of thing that's happening here.
"Pro-Law Forces demand adherence to existing federal immigration laws."
Hear, hear!
Oh yeah. The WSJ is despicable on this issue in the way in which they don't hesitate to libel and demonize people who agree with them on most other issues but who dare disagree on immigration; people who actually vote for the Republicans who give them the tax and trade policies they so love.
For that reason, they are worse than Leftists because they are engaging in a text-book liberal smear tactic.

I guess "we are a nation of laws" means nothing to your political party.
So how many more million illegals are you willing to have pour into America? 20 million more? 60 million more? 135 million more?
Immigration policy was not Pat's downfall. You don't really believe that do you?
I didn't say it was his downfall. I said, if conditions in the US electorate existed that would catapult a candidate to the Presidency based on being anti-immigration, then Pat would be President.

Even Hillary! is jumping on the bandwagon, but you wouldn't like her set of "solutions": National ID being just one of them.
