Yep, 47% if I recall.
Republicans are fools to think they'll get the "hispanic" vote...That won't ever happen even with unconditional amnesty.
What's the difference between conservative and libertarian in your opinion?
Since most elections are determined by a small percentage, a determined group willing to place a special interest above all else can exercise a disproportionate influence. A prime example is the abortion issue where many people opposed to the issue will still vote for a pro-abortion candidate because of other issues, but almost no one who supports abortion will vote for a pro-life candidate for any reason. Likewise, if and when a core group of voters can convince their elected representatives that real border control is the single controlling issue in determining their vote, we will see action, but probably not before then. This would mean support for a single issue in each race, not for party or philosophical control.
A split base is deadly for either party. Nader hurt Gore, probably costing him the election. In the tight races we've seen a 1% insurgency is all it takes to put you in the loser column.
The Republicans should be scared, very scared, of this issue if it pisses off the base. Tom Trancredo might not have a shot at being the Republican nominee for President, but he holds that nominees fate in his hands. (I think he's starting to know it too.)
Also, several districts in California (San Francisco for one) are planning/trying to make it legal for illegals to vote in school board elections.
The last time I noticed, the non-Hispanics, voters and non-voters amount to a larger percentage of Americans than do the Hispanics, at least for this week.
More rat lies. A majority of legal hispanics want stricter border/immigration control too.
Hispanic voters risk having their children/grandchildren/great-grandchildren digging in garbage heaps for food if they don't stop their support of the illegal hoards. Everything they came here to escape is right behind them, and us, if they don't wise up.
Back in the 1970's Planned Parenthood called for "zero population growth". People around the world were told to have no more than two children (my husband and I had one) or we risk overpopulation. The third world countries paid no heed. Now, Americans are told that because we stopped having children our country has to let illegal immigrants in. This just isn't right. I would rather be paying for parks, schools, hospitals... for my children/grandchildren not a bunch of lawbreakers. And you can bet I'm telling Bush just that.
Did you bother doing a bit of research into Dan Griswold's other thoughts? I believe he is for open borders. As in, literally open borders.
Would Arizona like to give Dan Griswold his wish?
Did you know that Griswold was the inspiration for Bush's "guest" worker scheme?
Did you know that that scheme was designed to allow "guests" to take *any* sort of job? As in *any", not just picking strawberries. Specifically mentioned were teachers and nurses.
Did you know that Cannon's brother is head of the Utah GOP?
Did you know that Chris Cannon's opponent came close, despite having much less money than Cannon?
And, of course, you're probably aware of the Prop. 200 exit polls showing IIRC 46% of Hispanics voting for it.
Bingo! You're absolutely right. I had forgotten about that, but you just hit the nail on the head!
It makes me so angry I sometimes have to just sit down and cry about it.
You know, I guess you could say we also aborted our future workforce. I think abortion was made legal in 1972.
I have always wondered why this is always about republicans. What about the democrats? The unions are being killed by this issue, Why don't they speak up?
Los primativos
Please re-read the post. I didn't say LMAO, the other person did.
The Republicans should be scared, very scared, of this issue if it pisses off the base.
The moderate and liberal Republicans need to realize they can splinter the party over this and vote accordingly.
Sorry, dirtboy. My apologies.
Good point.
The GOP is worried about the Hispanic, aka ILLEGAL vote? They should be worried about MY vote. WTH is going on here? The first candidate who swears to cut benefits off and enforce the laws against illegal immigration and employment will WIN the election.
The time for "civil debate" is up. President Bush, take care of your Country. We are in distress.

Cheap labor capitol of WY. They are voting their Raza not issues.
