Pat has a lot of silly ideas. Pat came real close to getting al gore elected in 2000. Pat is an isolationist.
My advice is to argue your points for getting rid of the illegals without bringing up pat.
Great (sane) advice.
Name me another Presidential candidate in recent memory that advocated protecting our borders and our Western Civilization based culture and I will be glad to bring him up. Hint: it ain't Baby Bush. If you consider protecting our borders and our culture a "silly idea" then I suggest you visit Lagos or Mexico City for some time and get a view of our future as Baby Bush would have it.
