"Try and convince your dad that if Kerry wins he has promised to give immediate citizenship to every illegal in this country."

Keep in mind that we still have a Republican congress, and maybe they'll get a backbone if they have a President in the opposition. So even if Kerry is elected (which I don't think would be a good thing) all is not lost.

I just don't see how alienating such a large base is good strategy. The majority legal mexicans want a stop to illegal immigration too!

Remember we have a ONE vote majority in the Senate right now!

Yes, I'm afraid Bill Clinton's administration taught the Republicans how to punish desent within the ranks. If any politician disagrees with their president then the party head will with hold money from that person's re-election campaign. Re: Tom Tancredo. This is one reason so many other Republicans won't speak up to save our country from foreign invasion.

Clinton used this kind of blackmail very successfully, and Karl Rove is doing the same with the Republicans who won't go along with Bush's amnesty plan.
