And who is going to get the credit for stopping it? If you were to ask the public, which party represents more closely your position on immigration and securing the border, the majority would say the GOP. It was the Rep House last year that passed an enforcement only bill with most of the Dems voting against it. Last year's senate bill was voted 32-23 AGAINST by the Reps.
I strongly believe that this can be a winning issue for the Reps. Hillary, Oabama, Dodd, and Biden voted for cloture and are supporters of this amnesty bill as they were in 2006. Only McCain among the GOP candidates has supported this bill and it has effectively killed his candidacy. There is a clear difference between the two parties on this issue despite the WH's efforts going against its own party.
As far as I can tell nobody is identified with stopping the bill. Weaklings in the Senate “caved in” to pressure from noisy racists inspired by eviiiiiil Talk Show Hosts.
DeMint, Sessions and the others are not getting much credit.
I’d sure LOVE it to be an issue for the ‘Pubbies, along
with the Fair Tax. But they won’t take it up, ‘cuz someone migh call ‘em racist.
Never mind that, last time I checked, “Hispanics” were counted as whites.
