When Melman posted that letter on the website ,saying their researched showed republican candidates that favored comprehensive immigration reform were viewed more favorably by the base, I knew if they printed a lie that big that they were broken and didnt speak for me.
You shot yourselves in the foot. You went to the members of the house and told them you were a majority. But you were not. The house believed you and passed legislation you wanted.
Then when the Senate wrote a bill, Hastert learned the truth. So he set out to raise public support for trashing illegal immigration. It failed.
So here are your choices guys... Vote for your boy in the primary and lose the general election. Then the Democratic House will pass a bill that contains the same provisions as the Canadian bill. That is show a valid Mexican birth certificate and legally live and work anywhere in the USA they want to.
The senate will compromise with the house.. meaning the best you can hope for is full amnesty and no fast track to citizenship. Or you can have the Senate bill if you do what the Republican establishment wants and we hold the house.
When in the spring you are looking at a Democrat House and you will understand why all those Mexicans are cheering. The Democrats will have solved the illegal immigrant problem by making them all legal... and perhaps if they capture the Senate too, you can refer to them as Mexican Americans.
