Pat had too many other reasons not to be elected than to zero in on his immigration stance.
He is protectionist.
And the big one - he never held an elected office. That shortcoming was his biggest obstacle.
In other words, perhaps a stronger candidate (like Bush was) might have won with a better stance on enforcing our borders.
I don't think anyone wants Hillary's solution of the national ID. However, she is positioning herself well in the political arena . If we should happen to be attacked within the next 4 years, she will remind us all that she told Bush and the Republicans about the need to secure our borders. The MSM will lap this up and replay her speech as our savior. This is a win, win for Hillary and you can bet she will go with it.
bttt
Why can't they call is what it is...."Anti-ILLEGAL invasion forces gain strength". If not that.....how about "PRO-LAW ENCORCEMENT.......".
Fortunately NY has the 9/11 families speaking out for us but other than that we seem to lack the kind of spirit some of these other states are exhibiting.
I think JM can scare the pants off the legislators, all of them. The last thing they want is for a rash of these PACs to spring up.
That's why I support him.
Yes and conservatives better get things together quickly. McCain is already starting his run for 2008 and he's no friend of immigration reform.
Morganelli is someone I could support as well. Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy is another one.
But, here's the more important email address: editor@reuters.com

"Americans are saying 'no' to Bush's guest worker program and 'no' to amnesty for illegal immigrants."
Well, it's about time people pulled their heads out of the sand.
Well, for 40 or 50 years that I know of, the major media have been fairly scrupulous not to report items that tend to awaken visceral patriotic reactions, among Americans. The reality is, that we have depended on people to keep us informed, whose hearts beat to a very different drummer than the rest of us.
Thanks for the "heads-up."
