leftist democrats and one issue immigration Republicans, same coin different sides.
leftist democrats hate business becuase it creates wealth and prosperity, one issue Republicans hate that same business becuase it doesn't employ the right kind of people.
You think that the 180+ House Republicans that will be supporting Tancredo in this matter are all single-issue politicians?
Correct, with the "right kind of people" being either Americans, or foreigners who are in the U.S. legally and who have the legal right to work here. Companies that hire illegal aliens are in violation of federal law. You don't condone violating federal law, do you?
He should turn the argument around. Not that corporations benefit from emloying cheap labor, but they pass on the cost to the tax-payers. It is the tax-payers that are hurting from illegal immigration. I haven't looked at the data, but it is at least a good theory.
What a cheap aspersion of other people's motives! You ought to look within. Just why do you attribute negative motives to people who believe in the normal identification with your own people--with your own kith and kin and neighbors--with those who share a common history and a many generation spanning value system--rather than with simply making a buck anyway that you can.
It is people with your lack of moral responsibility to your own nation and the society in which you grew up and still live, that undermine the future. Just how long do you suppose, we will even have a Government that is friendly to your business interests, as the demographics shift more and more towards a collection of third world societies?
Rep. Tancredo has more moral authority in his little finger than those business interests which would put next year's bottom line ahead of the ongoing continuity of the American value system--which includes the ethnic continuity of mainstream America.

Those leftist democrats are the ones allying themselves with the President on this issue. GWB will be counting on their votes to get a favorable bill passed to legalize the "new serf class" here in the USA.
Those leftist democrats are your friends Dane, not ours.
>leftist democrats hate business because it creates wealth and prosperity<
Which in turn creates revenues! Have they taken leave of their senses?
>one issue Republicans hate that same business because it doesn't employ the right kind of people<
Which are American citizens.
Rather sounds like they are in the same boat, doesn't it? Going over the white water without an oar!
The right kind of people to hire are legal immigrants (and thank G*d for those, as we don't want to have a population collapse like some countries in Europe seem to be on the verge of having). But as far as the lawbreakers go, no amnesties, deport them all, make America more secure.
If you think this is single issue you have not looked at the situation. You need to go back and do a lot of more in depth reading on this.

Then perhaps you would be willing to lead the fight to either force the Federal government to pay for the services it forces states to provide for immigrants (remember we are talking about low wage jobs that don't offer benefits like health care), or change the laws that require the services to be provided.
