re: More than three fourths of all Americans, according to the Gallup Poll and all other recent public opinion surveys, accept the notion that some of the current illegals must leave, and some of them should stay)))

My BS-ometer is clicking into the red. Something tells me this means, "Some of the illegals should stay. Like Mrs. Medved's maid."

Put me down as "divisive"--as in highly distrustful of the conciliatory tone of this.

Dear Mr. Neocon--Joe Sixpack is nobody's fool.

I don't think so. When I go hang with family, friends and co workers what is described in that poll seems to be a reality to me. Plus I hang with a pretty diverse group. Some real political and others that don't think much about it till election time. It does seem that most people I have discussed this with when it came up at all, have no problem with people that if they keep their nose clean ,pay fines, pay taxes in 12 to 15 years they become citizens. This sort of mirrors what I am seeing.
