We have outreach. We have some of the most intelligent and producted Americans of all stripes in the GOP.

As it says in the bible (paraphrase) "Those who have eyes will see and those who have ears will hear" and the rest will be democrats.

Very few illegals here. Most are from SA and legal. Very few illegal mexicans. Also many SAs have second homes here and the number is growing. Cheaper here than a lot of SA.
