They have only seen the “political” light and the “subscriber” light.

When this “Border Storm” passes, when the election is over, they will go right back to selling Amnesty and massive legal immigration.

Our Republican leadership is incorrigible.

They can NEVER be trusted again on this issue.

You're right, and this will only change when more voters start drawing lines in the sand. One of the reasons that George Bush and Bob Dole (deservedly) lost their elections is that conservatives stayed home. They drew a line in the sand saying that if you compromise on guns or taxes, we won't vote for "the lesser evil." If you're going to get shafted, it may as well be by a liberal Democrat than by a Republican who stabs you in the back.

Eventually, Republicans learned their lesson and became less likely to compromise on guns and taxes. Voters need to start doing the same on immigration.
