[Vote 4 Nixon]

The Republican party has sold out its base on border defense. They want the Hispanic vote so bad that they will do NOTHING that makes them look anti-immigrant.

[ClaireSolt]

I agree that looking anti=anybody is undesirable, and the story of how they lost CA has led them to work quietly without a lot of populism. However, they have been working steadily and 1999 was the highpoint of immigration. They have not sold out, but you may well have underestimated what it will take to get this completley under control. Many have.
