I've been an evangelical for forty years and held positions in all three of Reagan's campaigns.
Neither the author of this article, nor the third parties, nor the anti-illegals have anything in common with evangelicals.
Evangelicals are compassionate, optimistic winners, not hate filled bitter perpetual losers.
President Bush is an evangelical in actual practice, not in name only. Long before he ran for office he was holding morning prayer meetings in his home.
You don't speak for any evangelicals.
Ahh, look who we have here. None other than bayourod...a poster that has banned multiple, multiple times. On top of that, he/she has lied more times than I can count. Take nothing that bayourod says seriously. I have included some interesting posts below.....
Bayourod mischaracterizes individuals arguments, and also in the past has stated that immigration/borders is an issue which the american people do not care about, only a small # on FR. when asked to post evidence, he/she is nowhere to be found

"Tancredo and his followers are bumbling fools."
It's even worse than that. ****They are against the war in Iraq.******* It is part of their isolationist philosophy as enunciated by their prophet Buchanan.
****They opposed President Bush sending troops to Iraq in the beginning. *****They want the troops brought back now to guard the border and they want the money being spent on Iraq to be spent building a wall around our borders.

The Secretary of Homeland Defense testified before two Congressional committees last week that in order for him to secure the border against terrorists it is necessary for Congress to enact certain legislation that would allow his border guards to work more effectively detecting smugglers and terrorists.
Tancredo immediately announced that he would oppose such legislation
If Tancredo and his followers manage to block the legislation necessary to keep terrorists from crossing the border, and as a result an American city is bombed, the blood will be on the hands of Tancredo and his followers.

Here, this is from WORLD MAGAZINE:
'Something is terribly, terribly wrong'
INTERVIEW: Scholar and author Victor Davis Hanson on the "seeming insanity" of U.S. immigration and assimilation practices | by Marvin Olasky
WORLD: You write that "almost everything stern and uncompromising that for two centuries has helped other immigrants to the United Stateslanguage immersion, autonomy from government assistance, rapid assumption of an American identity, and eager acceptance of mainstream American culturehas either been discounted as passé or embraced only halfheartedly." We are recovering some of the 19th-century understanding in poverty fighting; can we do the same regarding immigration?
HANSON: I hope so. With perhaps as many as 20 million illegal aliens from Mexico, and the immigration laws in shreds, we are reaching a state of crisis. In a multiracial society such as our own, are we to tell the Filipino, the Sikh, the Korean, or the Haitian, "Stand in line, come legally, wait your turnunless you come across the Mexican border and break the law in doing so." So, we need to return to what is known to work: measured and legal immigration, strict enforcement of our existing laws, stiff employer sanctions, an end to bilingual documents and interpreters, and ethnic chauvinism, English immersionin other words, an end to the disastrous salad bowl and a return to the successful melting pot.
