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.

I agree but it is becoming quite clear that the Powers That Be in the Beltway want this immigration crisis to continue ad infinitum. Heck, the RNC has even instructed all their candidates to avoid any mention of illegal immigration. It's hard to get the ball rolling on immigration reform when the only party that can effect change is silent.

The only thing about the Republican party is it has conservatives within it that are fighting amnesty and the invasion. The democrats have none and are infinitely worse. There isn't much choice at the moment but to work within the GOP and try to influence change.

But I agree with you, the RNC anyway is running scared and is afraid to touch it, that is going to backfire eventually, the conservative base is fired up on this issue and they vote.
