I admire Chavez but when it comes to how Americans (both born and naturalized) feel about criminal aliens she is stone blind.

Well said. I agree with you 100%.

I used to get requests for political contributions from Linda, as much as I admire her, I was finally forced to add a note to her literature and return it to her. She is wrong, wrong, wrong, and seems just as hellbent on destruction (on the immigrant issue) as our President. What is the problem? They just can’t grasp the FACTS. American CITIZENS do not want amnesty, but they continue in their state of denial.

Perhaps she’s polled all the ILLEGALS in those “red” states. She forgets, THEY DON’T COUNT-—and they’d better not be voting! (Does anyone know how, or when, Linda’s parents got here?)

Correction: Immigration issue is what may turned blue states red.

She's only being pragmatic about political reality.

In the end, she will be spot on....

The party changed direction after much groundwork was layed by Reagan, GHWB and GWB. They new what it would take to beat the Dem's and both opened up the big tent Republican party. They all three took heat from the base and Conservative writers for it.

They were right. Conservatives were wrong but they don't yet know it and may never accept it.

I''m afraid the return to 30 years in the minority wilderness is certain because of what has been done by conservatives acting out in a populist manner with no thought to the consequences. They even called what they were doing....principled. But don't they all. History is replete with principled political stupidity.

>> I admire Chavez but

She uses nasty rhetoric on the issue of illegal immigration attacking those who don’t agree with her liberal policies.

She has a long history of supporting illegals (check out her background)... It has cost her in the past!

Chavez really outed herself last summer when she went berserk on the border security issue. Called all of us a bunch of nativist racists blah blah blah. I heard her on Laura Ingraham and it was an embarrassment. As one who has ridden her ethnicity to wealth and power she ought to have the decency to shut up and count her blessings.

And no I don't believe the gist of her case either. Most Hispanic Americans are smarter than she wants us to believe.
