If anyone, regardless of party membership, wants to be the next president of the United States, then promise and honestly keep that promise, that all illegal immigrants will be kicked out and gasoline prices are more acceptable.
So there!!!
Democrats have as much to worry about as Republicans do on this. Most Blacks are opposed to the Bush/Kennedy/McCain/Hillary/ amnesty for illegal aliens as are just about all legal immigrants including Hispanics.
If Democrats lose an additional 10% of the Black vote in any national election, and in most state wide elections, they are in trouble. The House isn’t as much of a problem because the districts are gerrymandered to be safe.
I know the people who run this group. http://www.alamo-coalition.org They are growing every day and about to make some noise. There are other Black groups getting involved too, which will be a big help in the fight.
Democrats are feeling the heat too. This, IMO, is why Dean is starting to talk about enforcement first.
The key to winning this fight is to keep the pressure up. The pro-criminal forces have the leadership of both parties, but we have the people and the votes.
Here in Orange County everybody is unimpressed.
Even Machiavelli noted that a leader should stick with a bold plan. Bush must have missed that page.
