"Politically, it's just not possible to end immigration from Latin America and Asia and keep it all from Eastern Europe, even if they wanted to."

Well SURE it is, all you need are votes in Congress. The main stream media will bitch LIKE NOTHING YOU HAVE EVER SEEN if the GOP tried to pass my proposal. However, SO WHAT? When have the main stream media ever done anything for Conservatives.

The GOP controls the house, and can pretty much pass anything it wants.

The Senate (As usual) couldn't pass it this year because the moderates will never vote for it. But in 2004, we look like we can get 6 CONSERVATIVE Senators into the Senate which would allow us to ignore the RINOs.

All you need is Will and Votes, but it can be done...

But I do understand what your talking about in regards to an immigration freeze.

When I say politically not possible what I'm talking about is you have plenty of legal Asian and Hispanic Americans in the Republican party who would be offended at such a proposal and would jump ship. Even freezing immigration would be difficult, which is why just lowering it to traditional levels would be politically more appealing. The Jordan Commission's recommendations are moderate proposals and worth reconsidering, there's enormous support for it across the country.

When it comes to illegal immigration though, the Republicans have got to show leadership, we're being invaded, there's no other word to call it. The border has to be closed and illegals deported, no matter how messy it appears. And they've got to change the anchor baby rule. It's the greatest incentive illegals have for coming here.
