After the elections in November, the Tea Party needs to focus on our borders while gearing up for the elections in 2012. If the borders and illegal problems aren’t fixed, to the satisfaction of Americans, prior to the elections, then replace the President and Democrats that wouldn’t fix the problem. Focus needs to be placed on the border by the Tea Party. It is the stronges organization we have to do this. Especially since Washington won’t do it.
I agree.

TEA PARTY AGAINST AMNESTY PROTEST SUPPORTERS: 6279
Please sign up below to show your support for the Tea Party events on April 15-17, 2010 and your opposition to illegal immigration or Amnesty for illegal aliens.
We are supporting Tax Day Tea Party events on April 15-17 that will allow the proper civic expression of our opposition to illegal immigration, which is shared by over 80% of all Americans. Only Tea Party events that allow guest speakers, candidates for Congress, elected officials, or organization tables that speak out against illegal immigration and Amnesty will be supported on our maps and websites.
If congress and the president rammed thru healthcare against the will of the people, what makes you think they won’t or can’t ram thru amnesty? They may even be able to pick up some RINO’s. They will however, have to do this before November, as many of them won’t be coming back, so this is their best and only shot.
They also know that if they do this, it will eventually guarantee them a permanent majority. Of course it will kill America as we know it too.
I would be very surprised if the Tea Party gets involved with the border issues. Plain and simple, no one cares. The reason politicians have been getting away with not securing our borders is because most people just don’t care. Even here on FR, the threads about the border issues, even the posts that explain how border issues effect the rest of the country- get very little interest. Check the border threads- very few posts, it seems to me only those of us that live on the border care what happens here.
I think it is the same old story- money talks and illegals provide cheap labor. Some are willing to sell out this country for cheap labor. Illegals are not cheap labor when you add on the cost to all the taxpayers for the medical care and other social programs illegals take advantage of. Illegal labor is not cheap when you count the cost of money and lives lost to illegals and drugs coming from South of the border. Supporting illegals in jails and prisons across the country is not cheap either. Truth is most cannot see the border issues beyond cheap labor and sympathy for the illegals.
