IIRC GW Bush, during his 2000 run for the WH, said, or strongly implied, he was going to get tough on illegal immigration.

Once he was in office, he did a complete 180.

He even tried to ram through an immigration 'reform' bill that was clearly amnesty.

Once his plan was discovered it was defeated.

And, as I recall, the Republicans RINOs were slaughtered in the next mid-term election as a result.
