Bernard, I think there is a “real” disconnect among the DC Beltway crowd and the rest of the country. Sounds like those guys are getting fed bad polling data from the electorate. Even the media does not get it. Illegal Immigration is a strange issue that is not always obvious as to what is going on in the background.

It's even scarier to think that Republicans would rely on polling to tell them how to vote or what to advocate.

In a representative form of government, there's a certain level of expectation based on political affiliation. So, even a moderate Republican should have positions more consistent with a conservative view than a Democrat would.

That said, I'm disappointed that these people don't seem to have an innate sense of fair play that tells them that widespread cheating and violation of law is not a good idea, and should not be rewarded with amnesty or whatever they are renaming it to excuse their bad behavior in supporting it.
