Hey George, how did kowtowing to the illegals work out for the GOP in that last election, huh?
I'd say that, more than anything else, Bush's deliberate refusal to enforce immigration laws, and his pushing amnesty time after time, that those factors are more responsible for the collapse of the Republican party than anything else.
BUT, Bush and some others think the opposite, that the fact that most Republicans opposed amnesty is the reason for all the election losses. And they will never admit that their divisive policies damaged the party.
They're wrong, but that's the state of the party at present.
