Dick your dementia is getting serious!

What a load of $hit....

Now politicians perpose to buy votes with citizenship?

Who’s this traitorous bozo shilling for again?

[Shermy]

White racist assumptions.

I read with interest Richardson in the NYTimes. He couldn’t say “Hispanics” are for this bill, just that they don’t like the alleged removal of family reunification policy.

The removal of family reunification in the undefined future, I believe, was some wonkish addition, not really meant to appeal to “conservatives”. It could turn out to be this year’s “felony” provision.

I notice no one trying to remove it. Could be the Dems want it in as a poison pill.

Hey Dick,, you get out here and deal with the neighbors engaged in human trafficking, the gang bangers, and the illegal refugees shouting at the top of their lungs running the city busses out of business. You might just see things differently.

reagan supported the rodinos,

and the pubies got little in return.

[Bonaparte]

Morris is clueless.

Hey, Dick! I've got a deal for you -- If you sign your house over to me, I'll paint it for free.

I’m more worried about the health of our country than the health of the Republican party.

The hopes of the entire Latino community are pinned to immigration reform

This is where he's wrong. The Democrats always think in monolithic "group" terms. There are many proud, Hispanic Americans who became citizens the legal way who are not in favor of illegal immigration or amnesty. One can just look at the results of the anti-illegal immigration referenda in California to see that a large portion of Hispanic Americans do not support illegal aliens, even if they are Hispanic.

The hopes of the ILLEGAL Latino community are pinned to immigration reform, but these persons are not supposed to have a vote.

[DaveTesla]

“but these persons are not supposed to have a vote”

The real issue.

[freespirited]

Whichever party is seen as supporting reform will gain a huge vote share among Hispanics.

Baloney.

[ChildOfThe60s]

What a pantload.

Remember when Newt thought he could “buy” hispanic votes by coming out in favor of making Puerto Rico a state?

Even if Morris’ nutty assertion that this law will sway Democrat hispanics to vote Republican was correct, there certainly won’t be enough of those to balance out the 12 million new Democrat voters the bill will create.

Dick Morris is a political whore. Absolutely nothing that he says should ever be taken at face value.

I don’t like people telling me that I can’t consider the details. I say trashcan this abomination. If it’s a good idea, it will come back with time for debate.

[Clemenza]

This is about as retarded as when they told us a few years back that we could get the so called “Latino” vote by pushing for Puto Rican statehood. Sheesh, DICK, please get out of the room.

[Clemenza]

If the Hispanics are not massively turned off by a Republican rejection of immigration reform, they will drift into an increasingly pro-Republican orientation just as Irish and Italian Catholics did before them. Why do folks always say "the Irish and Italians?" They came in different waves of immigration. Why not THE GERMANS, of whom there are more in this country than any other white ethnic group?

Besides, I don't see folks of Irish or Italian ancestry being solidly anything. Like other white folks, they vote according to profession and level of religious belief, not on ethnicity. If they did vote "Republican" as a block, NJ, CT, and RI would be solidly GOP states.

[A message]

This is where he's wrong. The Democrats always think in monolithic "group" terms. There are many proud, Hispanic Americans who became citizens the legal way who are not in favor of illegal immigration or amnesty.

I saw a bumper sticker a few weeks back that read,

"I am not a Latino, I am not a Hispanic, I am an American."

The sticker highlighted the Stars and Stripes.

I believe the person who placed such a bumper sticker on their auto would fully agree with your statements.

[VeniVidiVici]

Make them pay back taxes, get rid of anchor baby, deport on first offense and build the fence. We can then work on the rest.

[Rick_Michael]

Republicans have to pander, I guess!?

[conservative_brother]

Since most lawbreakers are Democrat, people that broke into this country should feel right at home in the Democrat Party. I don’t know who’s advising the Republican lemmings in the Senate and the White House, but this immigration bill will be the death nail for the party. Clinton was poison for the Democrat Party, and now it looks like Bush is a poison for the Republican Party.
